Internet2 licence
Hi,
I have a project here based on code under the "Internet2" license and I was
wondering, if it is any different from the 3-clause BSD license.
If it's no different, can I leave out the additional explanatory section ("You
are under no obligation[..]in binary and source code form.") in derivative
work and just license the whole derivative under BSD?
Thanks,
Carsten
