Actually, the MIT X license is even simpler than the BSD license. It might be the best if your goal is to allow people to do anything with the code except sue you for bugs. The Artistic License gives you a bit more control (especially over the name of the product) but also has some vague and probably unenforceable provisions. The advantage of it would be that the module would be licensed in the same way as Perl (a popular thing to do in the Perl community). >2) What is the best means of changing the license?

Otherwise, get permission from all authors first to avoid legal problems.... --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
