Hi, I'm considering upgrading the license that Passwordsafe is distributed = under, from the original Artisitc License = (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license.php) to the newer = version 2.0 of same = (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license-2.0.php). The main difference, as far as I can tell, is a new provision aimed at = deterring the use of the package in patent infringement litigation ("If = you institute patent litigation (including a cross-claim or = counterclaim) against any party alleging that the Package constitutes = direct or contributory patent infringement, then this Artistic License = to you shall terminate on the date that such litigation is filed."). If anyone has any objections to this change, please let me know. Thanks, Rony |
