Well, the best advice I can give you is: Really, please, don't do that. We have far too many incompatible licenses, and licenses that people think are compatible but with problematic compatibility wrinkles. It's far better for everyone involved if you try *very hard* to find an existing well-known well-understood free software license that pretty much meets your goals. > For now, what I want is the scrutiny that any Free Software license > in the making might be subjected to. The ‘debian-legal’ forum is not a good place for that. We discuss actual software packages that are either in, or are being considered for inclusion in, the Debian operating system. That is, we much prefer to discuss the freedom and legal issues of software that exists, not license terms in a vacuum. -- \ “Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than | `\ it ceases to be serious when people laugh.” —George Bernard Shaw | _o__) | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au>
