	BSD Protection License
	February 2002

	Preamble
	--------

	The Berkeley Software Distribution ("BSD") license has proven very
	effective over the years at allowing for a wide spread of work
	throughout both commercial and non-commercial products. For programmers
	whose primary intention is to improve the general quality of available
	software, it is arguable that there is no better license than the BSD
	license, as it permits improvements to be used wherever they will help,
	without idealogical or metallic constraint.

	This is of particular value to those who produce reference
	implementations of proposed standards: The case of TCP/IP clearly
	illustrates that freely and universally available implementations leads
	the rapid acceptance of standards -- often even being used instead of a
	de jure standard (eg, OSI network models).

	With the rapid proliferation of software licensed under the GNU General
	Public License, however, the continued success of this role is called
	into question. Given that the inclusion of a few lines of "GPL-tainted"
	work into a larger body of work will result in restricted distribution
	-- and given that further work will likely build upon the "tainted"
	portions, making them difficult to remove at a future date -- there are
	inevitable circumstances where authors would, in order to protect their
	goal of providing for the widespread usage of their work, wish to guard
	against such "GPL-taint".

	In addition, one can imagine that companies which operate by producing
	and selling (possibly closed-source) code would wish to protect
	themselves against the rise of a GPL-licensed competitor. While under
	existing licenses this would mean not releasing their code under any
	form of open license, if a license existed under which they could
	incorporate any improvements back into their own (commercial) products
	then they might be far more willing to provide for non-closed
	distribution.

	For the above reasons, we put forth this "BSD Protection License": A
	license designed to retain the freedom granted by the BSD license to use
	licensed works in a wide variety of settings, both non-commercial and
	commercial, while protecting the work from having future contributors
	restrict that freedom.

	The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution, and
	modification follow.

	BSD PROTECTION LICENSE
	TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION, AND MODIFICATION
	----------------------------------------------------------------

	0. Definitions.

	a) "Program", below, refers to any program or work distributed under the
	terms of this license.

	b) A "work based on the Program", below, refers to either the Program or
	any derivative work under copyright law.

	c) "Modification", below, refers to the act of creating derivative
	works.

	d) "You", below, refers to each licensee.

	1. Scope.

	This license governs the copying, distribution, and modification of the
	Program. Other activities are outside the scope of this license; The act
	of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the
	Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
	Program.

	2. Verbatim copies.

	You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program as you
	receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
	appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep
	intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of
	any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of
	this License along with the Program.

	3. Modification and redistribution under closed license.

	You may modify your copy or copies of the Program, and distribute the
	resulting derivative works, provided that you meet the following
	conditions:

	a) The copyright notice and disclaimer on the Program must be reproduced
	and included in the source code, documentation, and/or other materials
	provided in a manner in which such notices are normally distributed.

	b) The derivative work must be clearly identified as such, in order that
	it may not be confused with the original work.

	c) The license under which the derivative work is distributed must
	expressly prohibit the distribution of further derivative works.

	4. Modification and redistribution under open license.

	You may modify your copy or copies of the Program, and distribute the
	resulting derivative works, provided that you meet the following
	conditions:

	a) The copyright notice and disclaimer on the Program must be reproduced
	and included in the source code, documentation, and/or other materials
	provided in a manner in which such notices are normally distributed.

	b) You must clearly indicate the nature and date of any changes made to
	the Program. The full details need not necessarily be included in the
	individual modified files, provided that each modified file is clearly
	marked as such and instructions are included on where the full details
	of the modifications may be found.

	c) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole
	or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof,
	to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the
	terms of this License.

	5. Implied acceptance.

	You may not copy or distribute the Program or any derivative works
	except as expressly provided under this license. Consequently, any such
	action will be taken as implied acceptance of the terms of this license.
