You know, if you're interested, KaVir, I'd be happy to print out the license and bring it to one of my law professors for an opinion. To be honest I'm quite curious about it myself at this point. Obviously it wouldn't be as well-developed an analysis as that given by a lawyer specifically paid to invest time in the project, but it's much better than anything any one of us could piece together.

Granted, I did just get hired by Matt so I'm not exactly a completely neutral third party here, but on the other hand I did recently release a good 20-30 thousand lines of code to the public that primarily relies on the strength of the DIKU license for its own licensing, so arguably I've got some amount of self-interest on both sides here.

Anyhow, just let me know. Tomorrow's the last day of class before spring break, so the second week of March is really the earliest I'll be able to speak with my prof about the issue.
