Hi
Dan,
Regarding the
equivalent terms. I have seen different commercial legal interpretations
based on two of the sets of "equivalent" terms below. I believe that
these need to be distinct. With regards to library/program/software, I
am OK if we remove “library”
-
distributable|licensed|released|made
available
-
library|program|software

Subject: on license variability
First, some common equivalent
words/phrases:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
license|licence
distributable|licensed|released|made
available
can|may
terms and conditions|terms
library|program|software
developed|written
MERCHANTIBILITY|MERCHANTABILITY
is|are
do not|don<quotes>t
the copyright|that copyright
would|will
IN THE SOFTWARE
WITH THE SOFTWARE
deal in|deal with
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The quotes are also very different in different
files:
quotes can be ``, '', ", '
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, this is a subset of the way Ninka recognizes
the BSD3
clauses. I believe this will cover most versions. The
numbers preceding
the conditions are sometimes not there (Ninka drops
them, or any bullets
before it continues with the processing).
