If you do not specifically mention your use of the software, or features unique to it, in your marketing materials, then you do not have to mention the specific caluse contents. For distribution in binary form, the old license meant you had to put a blurb in appendix K of your documentation on CDROM, in a 4 point font, to comply. In general, the Whistle/IBM products didn't mention features specific to the code in the marketing materials, and had a button you could go to and see the various open source stuff from a web browser ("accompanying documentation"), which the highly paid legions of IBM lawyers assured us was rather more than adequate. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
