Licence query
The following licence is in use by the libpqxx package (C++ binding
for PostgreSQL), and a companion library (libpqxx-object) which I am
writing. It appears to be a BSD-style licence, with all UCB
references removed, but I'd just like to check with you that it is
DFSG-free since it is a different licence, and IANAL. In particular,
the "no advertising without prior written permission" clause looks
restrictive, but appears similar to clause 4 of the BSD licence (could
this be seen to conflict with DFSG clauses 5 and/or 6, since it
restricts advertisers/advertising?).
Thanks,
Roger
PS, I am not subscribed to -legal, so I'd appreciate being CCd on any
replies.
