Yeah, it's not in legalese, but I think we all know what it means. I don't think Mark is going to take anyone to court over it. I don't see why you couldn't use it to debug commercial projects - to me it clearly says you can't use the _code_ to make money. }It e.g. also doesn't allow it to put it on compilation cd roms, making }ups available to an wider audience. Not necessarily, if you're charging for the media or the other software products. }I'm not at all attached to the GPL for this, just would like one of the }common free software licenses (BSD, GPL, MPL, ...?), which are well understood }and spell out the user's rights clearly. GPL seems fitting though. The existing one is neither GPL nor BSD is it? In fact it's similar to one I used all those many years ago for clam (c1988-9). Any Minix fans on the list remember that?
