It is important that add-on products for Zope be released under the ZPL.
What is the reason for not using the verbatim 3-clause BSD license? The 4th clause in ZPL 2.1 is redundant, IANAL, though. The 5th is confusing. What's the situation with *BSD like ports where the source code is patched right before compiling? What is the "date of change" in that case? Or, if I use a file from Zope in my own product, do I have to include the change notice in it? If I use only the half of the code? Or just a few lines? I like the BSD license because it's simple, I don't have to think about the details, just keep the copyright notes and everything will be fine. Regards, Sandor
