I would like to present to you all a new Open Source software license I've written up. It's called the Single Supplier Open Source License. I will be distributing software under this license as well as the traditional Open Source licenses found at opensource.org. You can see a copy of the license and its associated FAQ at http://www.rsmba.biz/licenses . A link on the homepage at rsmba.biz will also direct you there. I will also be working directly with opensource.org to address any issues they have with the license wording. The license has the following features: # Users have freely available access to source code, documentation just like the GPL. # Users may use, modify, and install the software on as many computers as they want within their organization. # Any changes made by the user and others get contributed back into the base product # The developer's right to control who provides services using the product is protected. # The developer's right to control who can distribute the software is protected. # The developer has complete control over the product forking. # The developer and all contributors retain copyright of their individual works. # The software is always downloaded from the same place by the end user even if it's used as part of a larger product, protecting the quality of the software. Please feel free to contact me on or off list about this announcement. Richard Schilling
