License issues
Hi all,
I'm sure you're all as bored with this license issue as I am.
Anyway, I have caught up with my reading and was wondering if
Manu Rouat sent his email to Prof. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli at
Berkeley and whether he received an answer. If we could get
get the spice license changed to the GPL compatible version
of the BSD license our troubles would be over.
From my research it seems thet the problem with the original
BSD license and the GPL is that the license only allows use of
the software for "educational, research and non-profit purposes"
and thereby does not allow commercial use. This extra restriction
would make it incompatible with the GPL.
I have written to Richard Stallman with a copy of the spice license
seeking clarificartion.
Ciao,
Erik
