From ee86b1d8e25cb0ca9d418b33eb0dc5e7716ddc1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Landley Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:02:37 -0500 Subject: Simplify license text, as mentioned on the mailing list. Reasoning: it was never my intent to require anybody to copy license text into another project if they cut and pasted something out of toybox. The "permission for any purpose" is as close to public domain as you can get in our current screwed up legal system without making people uncomfortable the _other_ way. (Besides, my initial reading of that was "all copies of the source code" but that's not what it says, and somebody pointed out that Android has "show license text" options because paranoid lawyers think that sort of thing applies to the BINARY version, which is nuts.) --- LICENSE | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'LICENSE') diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index 40ad4b66..e683871d 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -1,8 +1,7 @@ -Copyright (C) 2006, 2011 by Rob Landley +Copyright (C) 2006, 2013 by Rob Landley Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any -purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above -copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies. +purpose with or without fee is hereby granted.
