[Sixpack-development] bp licence

[Dumas P. <du...@ce...>]

Hi,

I am very interested in bp/sixpack. I figured out that development is done
(in cvs) in sixpack2, thus I refer to files in that dir only.

The trouble I have is that it seems to me that the files coming from bp
are not under a free software licence. I quote:

# Permission is given to use and distribute this package without charge.

It is not permitted to modify these files. It implies that one should not
use code from these files to make its own code, and do from scratch
without looking prior at the bp code.

I am rather uncomfortable with this licence. Did somebody try to contact
Dana Jacobsen and ask him to relicence his files under a free software 
licence ?
