how can extra clauses not be restrictive? I mean, if they don't add new restrictions, what do they do?
- beaner 8y agoI guess a clause could specify exemptions to previous clauses.
- codeflo 8y agoExactly. This used to be quite common, see for example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception
- toyg 8y agoRemove restrictions? For example, the BSD license requires attribution, so you could have an extra clause that basically says "attribution is not required anywhere".
