Yet Another Free(?) License
I've become quite bored with having to spend brain cells determining whether
each of the two billion licenses everyone insists on creating for their
software packages is reasonable.
At this point I think I'm about to start suggesting these companies like
Netscape, Apple, and now AT&T just shoot their lawyers and release source to
the public domain. They've become so paranoid about completely imaginary legal
liabilities that they're trying to release code under shrink-wrap licenses and
call it "free". The very concept is laughable.
So here's the latest, for the djvu reference library, I haven't even bothered
to read it but if the people who still enjoy legal-hacking are interested they
might consider sending feedback to at&t hopefully resulting in djvu code we
can actually package.
[As you might have deduced from the tone of this letter I'm not actually on
debian-legal so any personal queries should be sent to me, not just the list]
