A new, post-post-modern, non-weak copyleft license inspired by, though different from, the GNU GPL. Contributions of patches, ideas, and criticism are welcome (see the file CONTRIBUTING.md for more information). In particular, the Copyleft-Next Project actively seeks the participation of open source/free software project developers who may not have considered helping with license drafting before. License drafting is fundamentally about establishing policies for projects, and therefore input from developers of the highest value.

Richard Fontana f44c2e266a Rewrote basic permissions section. ... This commit rewrites the basic permissions section in a more conventional legal manner (modeled to some degree on the CC 3.0 license grant language), and incorporates the clarifications given in the "verbatim copies" section. Unlike the GNU licenses, the license grant now explicitly refers to public display and public performance rights. In some (possibly rare for software) cases, specific mention of these rights could conceivably be advantageous.		2012-07-09 23:14:54 -04:00
