[tei-council] BSD licencing : ballot

[Lou Burnard]

Good. If the proposal is to offert the BSD-2-Clause then I am in favour.

Now all we have to resolve is the ontological issues! If there really is ample precedent for ducking those by saying people can choose whichever licence *they* think is correct, then I am not going to argue. I merely add this to my list of evidence that the law is an ass.

you're going back to the disclaimer business?

if there's a BSD variant chez http://www.opensource.org/licenses
which omits that clause, no problemo. What we can't afford
is to write our own variant.

but we may be chasing each others tails. The proposal is to
use "http://www.opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause", isn't it?
which does not have the text which upset you.
