A good OSI Certified (SM) license for the purpose, IMHO, is the W3C license (http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software-19980720). It's basically an MIT/BSD license, but requires documentation of changes. Specifically, the DOM Level 2 license, which incorporates this license, says that if you change the interface, you have to change the package from org.w3c.dom to something else. -- There is / One art John Cowan <jcowan@r...> No more / No less http://www.reutershealth.com To do / All things http://www.ccil.org/~cowan With art- / Lessness -- Piet Hein
