From 82271161cc7215c8ab59a2a2f43048d0dd6355ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guido van Rossum Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2000 03:05:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Since it looks like the dual license clause may be neither necessary nor sufficient to make Python 2.0 compatible with the GPL, we won't bother with it now. In other words, we're still where we were weeks ago -- CNRI believes that its license is GPL-compatible, Stallman says it's not. I'm trying to arrange a meeting between their lawyers so they can work it out. Whether dual licensing is the solution is open at this point. If it is the (only!) solution, we'll add that to the BeOpen license for 2.0 final. --- LICENSE | 16 +++++----------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index e17ec5fd26c..cfc0d9a8872 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -36,28 +36,22 @@ otherwise use the Software alone or in any derivative version, provided, however, that the BeOpen Python License is retained in the Software, alone or in any derivative version prepared by Licensee. -3.
