"Reasonable help" sounds like a dangerous term. Also, both these make this license GPL incompatible - The GPL doesn't forbid technical restrictions (it must be "machine readable"), nor does it require you to offer help, just source ("the preferred form for modification"). > I have to decide by the end of this week how to licence the course > material I referred to.

If possible, recommend that people use the GPL (or keep the dual-license). -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
