As I read it, you are free to make improvements (in any form whether source, binary, distribution or derivatives) with the only restriction being that the author is not changed. i.e. do what you like, (according to your own definition of improvements) as long as you don't claim to have written the entire thing yourself. Not an ideal licence, maybe - BSD might be better by being more explicit - but this would seem DFSG compliant - at least to me. The second section is just a shortened version of the warranty clause in most licences. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
