This makes sense, but I don't consider a BSD license with some clauses removed an "own" license in this sense. Merely removing some restrictive clauses should not result in any problems - e.g., the BSD license was shortened from 4 clauses (original) to 2 clauses (FreeBSD), and I like to remove these remaining 2 clauses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses#2-clause_license_.28.22Simplified_BSD_License.22_or_.22FreeBSD_License.22.29 Basically, I propose that we use this, but remove the words "provided that the following conditions are met" and remove the two conditions. We may achieve the same by starting with the ISC license text (the "and/or" revision of it) and removing "provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies". In either case, we'll be able to say that the text that remains is the complete permission text of either the BSD license or the ISC license; the only things removed are purely restrictions. Alexander
