If you can reuse the legal mechanics of the new LLVM license, maybe that helps? We spent a LOT of lawyer time trying to get this right.


I just want to say, it's slightly mind-boggling to see two Googlers on a thread talking about how to adapt legal work done for a mostly Apple-owned project to improve the licensing of a Microsoft product.


I wouldn't call LLVM "mostly Apple owned" at this point. It has a huge range of contributions from Apple, Google, and many others. Even Microsoft! =]


Fair point, though it certainly was try at one point. In any case, doesn't detract from the point I was trying to make.


Open source is hard work, regardless of your affiliation.
