Ok, imagine following scenario:
- You started using product
- One year latter ASF stops existing, apache.org returns 404 or viagra ads.
- Two years latter, original FSL gets terminated, your new license for that software are 404 errors or viagra ads. You now have no license and should stop distribution!
Think what you want, software under FSL is on my ban list.
- the_mitsuhiko 3y agoThat’s a purely hypothetical situation. Even in that case a court would very likely uphold the license just by the name. For what it’s worth plenty of software is only referencing a license by name or reference and I’m sure you are using that software as if that license were there in hardcopy. More importantly if you want to make a fork you can always retain that license the moment you fork, not the moment the license swaps. In fact you probably would want to start collecting contributions under Apache 2 straightaway.
