At least one CCL allows no derivation under any terms, which would at least raise an issue, I'd hope. I'm not aware of any CCLs in FreeBSD other than the two GNU licenses (but I haven't looked for others). > I'm not sure who he should ask if they want that; releng@ ? From http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/pref-license.html The FreeBSD project discourages completely new licenses and variations on the standard licenses. New licenses require the approval of <core@FreeBSD.org> to reside in the main repository. The more different licenses that are used in the tree, the more problems that this causes to those wishing to utilize this code, typically from unintended consequences from a poorly worded license. I doubt if no-commercial-use licenses would be approved for use in the base OS, because of the previously-mentioned sale of CDROMs.
