IPF current code under free licenseIPF current code under free licensePosted Jun 3, 2004 7:16 UTC (Thu) by Peter (guest, #1127)In reply to: IPF current code under free license by bignose Parent article: ipfilter on GNU/Linux: Is It Finally Here? (Linux Journal)
The author seems to dislike the BSD license loophole It's not a loophole - it's quite intentional. Interesting how this license is viral, but without requiring disclosure of source. If everyone distributing the code is required to keep the terms permitting "Redistribution ... in source and binary forms", how is it possible for a recipient to exercise this right if the source is not necessarily provided? Is it so much of a stretch to assume that if I am required to give you the right to redistribute IPF in source and binary forms, when I give it to you, that this also implies that I have to give you the source to begin with?
