| | BSD license - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is used most commonly for the Berkeley Software Distribution, a Unix-like operating system for which the license was named. | | | Some notable examples of this are the use of BSD networking code in Microsoft products, and the use of numerous FreeBSD components in Mac OS X. | | | This is problematic since with large numbers of people working on a single project (or for many separate projects in a software distribution), the advertising clause quickly created large and unwieldy acknowledgements. |

| | Explaining BSD |
| | BSD handles library version upgrades by providing compatibility modules for earlier library versions, so it is possible to run binaries which are several years old with no problems. | | | BSD developers tend to be more experienced than Linux developers, and have less interest in making the system easy to use. | | | The X Window system used in most versions of BSD is maintained by a separate project, the XFree86 project. |

| | 19: open Source Licenses |
| | The license may restrict source code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. | | | Although the Lesser General Public License is less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library. | | | The first version of the GNU Public License went even further, and said that if you used GNU software as part of a larger project, even just distributing it on the same tape, the entire of the larger project became covered by the GNU license. |

| | NetBSD Licensing and Redistribution |
| | Berkeley-style licenses are a happy medium: they allow people to copy and modify the software, so long as we get name recognition and our names aren't used without our permissions. | | | In summary, the people involved in the NetBSD Project use a Berkeley-style license where possible because it closely matches our goal of allowing users to do whatever they'd like with our software, while making sure that we get credit for the work we have done. | | | This license was used in the University of California, Berkeley's second Berkeley Networking Release and the 4.4BSD Lite software release, and looks like this: |

| | While this may be a noble strategy in terms of software sharing, it is a condition that is typically unacceptable for commercial use of software. | | | Source code published under version 2 of the Apache license cannot be included into OpenBSD. | | | Much of OpenBSD is originally based on and evolved from NetBSD, since some of the OpenBSD developers were involved in the NetBSD project. |
