Personally I would prefer a simple BSD- no-advertising license, since that ensures the widest possible use (including commercial use) without restrictions. So if you are one of the people listed below, and you would agree to relicensing the macros under the 3-clause BSD license (see end of this message), please follow-up to indicate your agreement or otherwise. dnl autoconf macros for OCaml dnl by Olivier Andrieu dnl from a configure.in by Jean-Christophe Filliatre, dnl from a first script by Georges Mariano Rich. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposed license: Copyright (c) 2000-2009, [list of contributors] All rights reserved.
