Re: [vhdl-200x] Code sharing & Licenses

Hi,
> We also need to pick a suitable license for the code we publish.
I am currently using the Perl Artistic license.
http://www.perlfoundation.org/artistic_license_2_0

I like this one because it has a "share alike clause".
This way if someone makes improvements and distributes it,
the original copyright holder is explicitly to
allowed to incorporate them in the standard version
of the package.

It also has a requirement that the derivative is not
designated the same as the "STANDARD" version.
This simplifies distinguishing the approved version
of the packages from the derivatives.

Best,
Jim
