Subject: License Proposal


I'm working on trying to finalize the license terms for source code
generated by the MkLinux team.  I've taken portions of licenses from
NetBSD, OSF, Apple, etc. in an attempt to generate a flexible, yet
protective license.  I have also deleted the requirement that MkLinux be
mentioned in all advertising materials for any supported works, since this
is generally considered one of the more ridiculous clauses in the
traditional BSD license.

Please read over this license and voice any objections or suggestions.


Thanks,
David
