New Revision: 43

Log:
Slimming down…
- Suppression of the 'Format' field.
- The 'Copyright' field is free form, and the copyright symbol was removed
from the examples.
- Licence "keywords" are renamed "short names".
- Exemption are signalled in english, not with a "BY" syntax.
- I simplified the table of licences. I can add URLs back later when it is
time for polishing.
- BSD licenses are referred by their name. The "original BSD" issue is not
a problem since the relicensing has retro-active effect. I think that we
can use the same keyword for the 4- and 3- clause version.
- All of this was the kiss of death for the EBNF, so I removed it, and
the recommendations for clear copyrighting as well.

### License
-#### Keywords
-The "`License`" field, to be machine-parseable, should not contain
-arbitrary values. There needs to be a list of accepted keywords which
-have a very specific, unambiguous meaning. The convention for license
-keywords is `XYZ` for a license with only one version, and `XYZ-n` for
-sequential version *n* of the XYZ license, where `XYZ-1` is
-chronologically earlier than `XYZ-2`.
+#### Short name
+
+The "`License`" field, to be machine-parseable, refers in its first lines to
+frequently used licenses through a list of unambiguous short names. For the
+licenses existing in multiple versions, the version number is added, using a
+dash as a separator. If omitted, the lowest version number is implied. When the
+licence permits to use the terms of any later version, the short name is
+finished with a plus sign.

-of particular licenses.
-
-The extra plus-sign in `<License version>["+"]` means that the
-License contains clauses similar to GPL's "version N or (at your option)
-any later version".
-
-The GPL "`-Font`" clarification refers to the text added to the
+Exemptions and clarifications are signalled in plain text, by "with
+''keywords'' exemption". This document provides a list of keywords that refer
+to the most frequent exemptions.
+
+The GPL "`Font`" clarification refers to the text added to the
license notice of each file as specified at [How does the GPL apply to
fonts?](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#FontException). The
text needed is:
-> ...
-
-> As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font,
-> and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the
-> document, this font does not by itself cause the resulting document to
-> be covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not

-> by the GNU General Public License. If you modify this font, you may
-> extend this exception to your version of the font, but you are not
-> obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception
-> statement from your version.
-
-The GPL "`-OpenSSL`" clarification gives permission in cases where GPL
-code is linked with OpenSSL library. For more information, see ["The
-OpenSSL License and The
-GPL"](http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html) by Mark
-McLoughlin and the message ["middleman software license conflicts with
-OpenSSL"](http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/05/msg00595.html)
-by Mark McLoughlin on the `debian-legal` mailing list. Any GPL source
-that uses OpenSSL and does not contain an OpenSSL exception notice is
-[REJECTED](http://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html) by the Debian
-FTP administrators. The license notice needs to include an exception
-such as the following to qualify for `BY-OpenSSL` which allows linking
-with OpenSSL:
-
-> ...
-
-> In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give
-> permission to link the code of portions of this program with the
-> OpenSSL library under certain conditions as described in each
-> individual source file, and distribute linked combinations including
-> the two.
-
-> You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all
-> of the code used other than OpenSSL. If you modify file(s) with this
-> exception, you may extend this exception to your version of the
-> file(s), but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
-> so, delete this exception statement from your version. If you delete
-> this exception statement from all source files in the program, then
-> also delete it here.

-*Proposal 1:*
-
-Comment: These licenses have no recognised version number. Perhaps the
-abbreviation should deliberately show the number of clauses in a way
-that doesn't indicate a version number: BSD-C<N>. But that still sounds
-vaguely like a version number; it still suggests sequence in the
-different versions that doesn't actually match the true chronology; it
-also fails to indicate *which* clauses are included. âBenFinney

-*Proposal 2:*
-
-In the absence of a clear succession of differently-numbered consecutive
-versions of a license text, my proposal is: we could come up with
-abbreviations similar to those used for indicating active clauses in the
-Creative Commons licenses. This way, no false impression of
-chronological sequence is implied, and the abbreviation provides a
-mnemonic for what the terms of the license actually are, not just the

-*Proposal 3:*

-While mnemonics like `LC,NE,AD` may sound practical (where does LC

-**<License keyword well known>**
-
-The basis of these keywords should be wide recognition. Something based
-on lists like [Open Source Initiative: Licenses by
-Name](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical),
-[Wikipedia: List of FSF approved software
-licences](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FSF_approved_software_licences),
-and [FSF: Various Licenses and Comments about
-Them](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html).
-
-This list does not yet represent all widely used licenses. Good
-candidates are those listed in the FSF or OSI pages mentioned above. The
-column "Version needed" means that the license keyword should always be
-accompanied by a version number. E.g., plain keyword `Artistic` is to
-be avoided in favor of the more explicit `Artistic-2` keyword.
-
-The *GPL compatible* field indicates compatibility by license version.
-E.g., in the case of Apache, the "2.0+ (v3)" means that Apache license
-version 2.0 was the first GPL v3 compatible license. The Apache licenses
-are not GPL v2 compatible. In the case of the CPL, the "No 1.0" means
-that license version 1.0 is GPL incompatible; no information about other
-versions is known. If the field is linked to somewhere else, it means
-that the opinion has not been verified by the FSF, but an external
-source is being cited.
+The GPL "`OpenSSL`" clarification gives permission to linked code with OpenSSL library, which contains GPL-incompatible clauses.

-## Appendix: Valid copyright statements:
-
- * A valid copyright statement, as per the UCC, MUST include all of the following:
- * One of "Copyright", "Copr.", or "©". Note that an approximation
-like "(c)" is explicitly *not* acceptable; it never had legal standing
-and is too ambiguous.
- * The year(s) of publication of the work. Years SHOULD be full
-four-digit years, either separately or a dash-separated range of
-four-digit years.
- * The specific identifying name of the copyright holder. Real names
-of people or legal entities SHOULD be used where available instead of
-nicknames or "screen names". Optional contact information or URI is
-recommended.
- Maintainers MAY reformat copyright statements for clarity or
-consistency as long as the legal meaning is not changed. For more
-information study the [GPL
-Howto](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html).
