Yeah, sorry about that. ;( I read in Rosen's book that the AFL allows to sublicense works under it freely, including granted patents, and he creates the elaborate 'restriction stripping' setup I explored wth Roy wrt to the Apache license here, in his book in chapter 10. I mentally put the AFL in the BSD-like basket, and didn't check whether other BSD-like license exist that address the patent grant questions in a similar way, or at all. I should have mentioned the AFL explicitely. cheers, dalibor topic --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
