Beerware code in Mozilla
Thursday, December 23rd, 2004I read about Poul-Henning Kamp's Beerware License in a comment on Simon Willison's blog. The license is very short and very free:
/* * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42): * <phk@FreeBSD.ORG> wrote this file. As long as you retain this notice you * can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some day, and you think * this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return. Poul-Henning Kamp * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
Kamp's page mentions that "netscape used my malloc implementation". I searched Mozilla's lxr for the license and found it intact above Mozilla's malloc implementation.
