The license permits you to take any<br> BSD-licensed software that you possess and relicense it as GPL (or<br> under any other compatible license, such as "totally proprietary (plus<br> liability/attribution requirements for redistributors)"). You<br> certainly wouldn't need to rewrite anything.<br> <br> However, it seems to include a number of trademarked, copyrighted<br> logos. In other words, it's not really BSD-licensed. I don't know if<br> the logos should be in the repo. Even if we're not going to worry<br> about copyright on logos (à la Firefox), I'd think that the current<br> extension might be a trademark violation, in that users might<br> reasonably think your site is part of or endorsed by Google/AOL/etc.<br> IANAL, of course.<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> Wikitech-l mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org">Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a><br> <a href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l" target="_blank">https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l</a></blockquote></div><br> _______________________________________________<br>legal mailing list<br><a href="mailto:legal@openid.net">legal@openid.net</a><br>http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/legal<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
