[PD-dev] OSCx License is not free?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Anyone know what the license is of the OSCx code in CVS is?  On the  
files themselves, the license is a non-free license.  So unless its  
been released under a different license also,  it shouldn't be in  
SourceForge CVS and it can't be distributed with the Pd installers or  
in Debian.  (This isn't a political issue, its a legal issue.  UC  
Berkeley could sue SourceForge, guenter, or me, for example, for  
violating their license).

This is from the top of externals/OSCx/src/dumpOSC.c:

"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
documentation for educational, research, and not-for-profit purposes,  
without
fee and without a signed licensing agreement, is hereby granted,  
provided that
the above copyright notice, this paragraph and the following two  
paragraphs
appear in all copies, modifications, and distributions.  Contact The  
Office of
Technology Licensing, UC Berkeley, 2150 Shattuck Avenue, Suite 510,  
Berkeley,
CA 94720-1620, (510) 643-7201, for commercial licensing opportunities."
