Mark Thomas commented on LEGAL-304:
-----------------------------------

I'm curious. What makes you read that as a FoU restriction? I don't read any of that as placing a limit on use. It does appear to be intended to limit liability although it looks to be unnecessary given the text that precedes it.

> On LEGAL-44, a question was asked about whether BSD-3 with the nuclear clause was acceptable?  Two conflicting opinions were expressed, and the issue was closed because of a change in the license.
> On TIKA-2338, we'd like to move a a portion of a dependency that was restricted to test-scope (according to LEGAL-37) to our regular distribution because that portion has been moved to BSD-3.
> However, we noticed that this is BSD-3 with the [nuclear clause|https://github.com/jai-imageio/jai-imageio-core/blob/master/LICENSE.txt].  Can we include this in our distribution under ASL 2.0?
> Is this a "field of use" restriction (which would lead to a "no" answer) or is this an "acceptance of no liability" (which would lead to a "yes" answer)?
