I think it is equally unhelpful to post personal remarks, such as: "The license shows many signs of being written by someone with just enough knowledge to be legally dangerous." > this licence seems uncontroversially non-free due > to forbidding private use. You are wrong. Read the section 3.a. It permits you to not release source code of your work derived from Truecrypt, provided that you don't distribute the derived work (that's 'private use'). So the TrueCrypt License obviously is free and nobody has presented any facts that would prove the contrary. > The GPL does not cover use, while Truecrypt's > licence does. You are wrong. GPL covers the use as well. For instance: Section 8: "8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted..." Section 12: "ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
