Four New Open Source Licenses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-and-more-choices dept.

Russ Nelson writes "OSI has approved four new Open Source licenses. The X.Net is BSD with jurisdiction specified (note that RMS says that the GPL is not compatible with such licenses,) the New Artistic, currently that used by Perl (one paragraph added), the Sun Public License is Mozilla 1.1 with minor differences, and the Eiffel Forum License. We also modified the rationale for Open Source Definition clause 9 to remove the word "contaminate" referring to the action of the GPL."

    Those damned terrorists just took out the Empire State Building and Sears towers! The Empire State Building is still standing but the Sears went down 35 minutes after it was hit. There are also reports of a gas attack on Boston. Another plane was shot down on its way to the capital.

    Yahoo has the terrible details here.
