Explicit License
any chance of getting you to change to explicitly use and reference of of the standard licenses? BSD 3 clause would be a good choice. The reason I ask is that our code auditor for our project (unidata netcdf) uses a tool to ensure we only use a selected set of well known licenses, so using an explicit URL to point to a standard license website keeps the tool happy.
Hello!
I'm not an expert in licenses, but it seems to me that ISC and BSD are almost the same. ISC is more permissive, that was the reason I chose it. Can you fork and relicense under another license (maybe under another name)? For me it would be quite ok. If I need to do something for this - feel free to text me, I will do it.
Yes, if you could do that with some other name -- radixtrie perhaps -- using this URL as part of your license file: https://opensource.org/license/bsd-3-clause The reason I ask this has to with the way our software (Unidata/netcdf-c) gets audited. They are picky about the licenses for external software that we use. BTW I am going by the ratings on the Open Source Initiative web site: https://opensource.org/license They rate ISC as uncategorized (https://opensource.org/license/isc-license-txt).
No, I will not fork, rename and relicense the library. I don't need it. You can do it. I meant that I can give special permissions if it is really necessary. You can even take the library and remove any mention of authorship, I really don’t care.
FSF lists it: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ISC "This license is sometimes also known as the OpenBSD License. It is a free software license, and compatible with the GNU"
ISC License (#ISC) "Free and GPL-Compatible License. "
The tool that lists it as "uncategorized" should be updated... (As should the Open Source Initiative web site...)
