Artistic-1.0 "aggregation clause" confusion
ntyni opened this issue · comments
Software::License::Artistic_1_0 has an option to include or leave out the 'sometimes-omitted "aggregation clause"', which reads
- The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
However, according to spdx.org [1], there's a sometimes-included
clause 8 that reads
- Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is, when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be construed as a distribution of this Package.
Given the reference to "aggregation" in the clause name in the
Software::License::Artistic_1_0 documentation, it seems probable that the spdx.org version is actually the "sometimes-omitted" one.
In any case, it would be nice to have an option to generate the 10-clause version ("Artistic-1.0-cl8" below.)
