@@ -42,30 +42,6 @@ A. See the previous question: I personally think that the front end
they want to have a proprietary back-end, that's ok by me too. It's
their loss, not mine.
- At the same time, I'm a big believer in "quid pro quo". I wrote the
- front-end, and if you make improvements to the semantic parsing part
- (as opposed to just using the resulting parse tree), you'd better
- cough up. The front-end is intended to be an open-source project in
- its own right, and if you improve the front end, you must give those
- improvements back. That's your "quid" to my "quo".

-Q. So what _is_ the license?
-
-A. I don't know yet. I originally thought it would be LGPL, but I'm
- possibly going for a license that is _not_ subsumable by the GPL.
- In other words, I don't want to see a GPL'd project suck in the
- LGPL'd front-end, and then make changes to the front end under the
- GPL (this is something that the LGPL expressly allows, and see the
- previous question for why I think it's the _only_ thing that I will
- not allow).
-
- The current front-runner is the OSL ("Open Software License", see
- http://www.opensource.org/licenses/osl.php), together with a note on
- what makes source derivative and what does not to make it clear that
- people can write back-ends for it without having to make those
- back-ends available under the OSL.
