this does not in any way prevent commercial use
- renewiltord 5y agoReally? So if I want to include BSD code without attributing in my commercial software, I can distribute the binary? That’s rhetorical. I can’t do so legally without receiving a different license for the copyrighted code. The counter example to what you claim is trivial to construct.
- trasz 5y agoYes, you can, assuming we're talking about the modern BSD license. So, your point was?
- renewiltord 5y agoThis is wrong. 3-clause BSD requires reproduction of copyright notice. You cannot distribute commercial derivatives of BSD-licensed code without including attribution. It’s literally clause two.
- trasz 5y agoThat’s why I’ve asked about the modern BSD license, the one without the advertising clause. But even with the old one, having to add one more disclaimer to the usual page of disclaimers somewhere in the documentation is not a problem, while meeting requirements of copyleft licenses - even non-viral ones - can be problematic.
- renewiltord 5y ago2-clause BSD also requires reproduction of the copyright notice. It’s clause two.
- juped 5y agohow does commercial use require you to delete the license text?
