I, Thomas Schmitt, commit myself to grant to anybody on mere request the right
|
The copyrights of several components of libburn.pykix.org are willfully tangled
|
||||||
to use this under BSD license, i.e. completely free of the special obligations
|
at toplevel to form an irrevocable commitment to true open source spirit.
|
||||||
of GPL. But note well, it is here and now only granted under GPL.
|
We have chosen the GPL for legal compatibility and clearly express that it
|
||||||
Any person with a BSD license is explictely entitled to grant a GPL with
|
shall not hamper the use of our software by non-GPL applications which show
|
||||||
or without changes to a BSD licensed original. Nothing else is intended
|
otherwise the due respect to the open source community.
|
||||||
by me. It is only that i want to grant others the same rights that i claim
|
See toplevel README and cdrskin/README for that commitment.
|
||||||
effectively for me. And for me i do claim the rights of a BSD license.
|
|
||||||
|
For a short time, this place showed a promise to release a BSD license on
|
||||||
|
mere request. I have to retract that promise now, and replace it by the
|
||||||
|
promise to make above commitment reality in a way that any BSD conformant
|
||||||
|
usage in due open source spirit will be made possible somehow and in the
|
||||||
|
particular special case. I will not raise public protest if you spawn yourself
|
||||||
|
a BSD license from an (outdated) cdrskin.c which still bears that old promise.
|
||||||
|
Note that this extended commitment is valid only for cdrskin.[ch],
|
||||||
|
cdrfifo.[ch] and cleanup.[ch], but not for libburn.pykix.org as a whole.
