Talk:Open Source Definition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bulk of this article consists of a copy of the open source definition available at http://opensource.org/docs/definition_plain.html

I do not see any copyright statement on the OSI website. Particularly, there is no notice that the OSD has been released to the public domain, or under the GNU FDL or a similar license.

The document in question is derived from a document of the Debian distribution available at http://www.us.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines . It contains the statement Other organizations may derive from and build on this document. Please give credit to the Debian project if you do. - Bruce Perens

[edit] Item ten and grammar

License Must Be Technology-Neutral: no click-wrap licenses or other medium-specific ways of accepting the license must be required.

Should that say may rather than must? The diffrence is subtle and I am not sure if it actually is saying what it means or not. Anyone? Dalf | Talk 02:18, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
