    Posté par . En réponse au journal Licence virale minimaliste ou licence incestueuse. Évalué à 3.

    C'est tout de même la licence BSD qui impose Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice alors que la MIT permet la compatibilité et le changement de licence, permettant d'éviter d'avoir deux licences compatibles l'une sous l'autre et de ne retenir que celle choisie au final.

    Euh, non, la MIT doit aussi être reproduite dans tous les cas :

    La MIT est intéressante parce qu'en plus d'être concise, elle détaille les droits cédés, ce qui est obligatoire en droit français.

    Sinon, pour une BSD encore plus compacte, il y a la licence de l'Internet Systems Consortium (ISC), adoptée par le projet OpenBSD :

    Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders>
