[Mgboost-developers] mgBoost license

[Andreas S. <sed...@ho...>]

I took the Boost software license 1.0 and decided to deploy mgBoost =
under these terms.

Its a pretty liberal license, short and precise allowing the end user =
basically everything besides violating your copyrights.
Its a "copylefted" license - not a philosophical and "viral" one however =
as a GPL would be.

What is your thoughts regarding a license ? Project is hosted on =
sourceforge so basically it needs to be an OSI approved open source =
license.
Since they accept the Boost Software license however I suppose that they =
are much less stress-free than they write and it can be compatible =
licenses as well as long as it stays "open source"

On magicu-l I already announced that I would like to add a beerware =
paragraph and I just googled for it.

I found at http://people.freebsd.org/~phk/
