139 //A previous iteration of this page involved cleaning out old comments from licenses. This preserves some comments that should be later transformed into FAQs or otherwise handled, and adds questions of interest from mailing list archives.//

141 **Questions Luis Has Not Yet Reviewed**
142
143 //**From the mailing list archive**//
144
145 Was [[this submission>>url:http://www.mail-archive.com/license-discuss@opensource.org/msg07517.html]] of Zope 2.1 answered or approved? The version listed on OSI site is 2.0. The difference is trivial, it makes the text into a template for other copyright holders.
146
147 Was [[this request>>url:http://www.mail-archive.com/license-discuss@opensource.org/msg07542.html]] answered? The license listed is wxWindows. The difference is license name change to wxWidgets.
148
149 Was [[this W3C update>>url:http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.licenses.open-source.general/834]] answered? The W3C license listed is still the former version. Note: trivial changes, but also removal of "permission to //use//".

159 //**Other kind of questions**// (that [[the FAQ>>url:http://opensource.org/faq]] should address with its [[copyleft notes>>url:http://opensource.org/faq#copyleft]])
160
161 [[MIT question>>url:http://opensource.org/comment/1308#comment-1308]]
162
163 //>The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. Then why does Wikipedia state (unreferenced) this license is NOT copyleft? Does Wikipedia need fixing? Is there a reliable source about this?//
164
165 [[Another MIT question>>url:http://opensource.org/comment/1272#comment-1272]]
166
167 //If I obtain code under the MIT license, then make changes to it. Can I sub-license it under my own terms? Or do I have to still include their original MIT license with my software. Basically I'm creating software that contains MIT licensed code, but I want to sell it with my own sub-license for the end users so they can't redistribute it for free.//
168
169 We get this question a lot. Maybe [[this FAQ item>>url:http://opensource.org/faq#permissive]] should be expanded to address it?
170
171 **Questions Luis Has Reviewed But Not Yet Taken Action On**
172
173 Note: in above cases, I find interesting the existence of the questions. 'Reciprocical', 'permissive', and sub-categories, may be of potential interest (?) for pages with license categories, descriptions, basic differentiation, which would serve the purpose to ease choice of license. //[Yes, I think this, or something like it, is on our radar. Good to hear our suspicions confirmed, though! –Luis]//
174
175 **Questions Luis Has Reviewed And Taken Action On**
176
177 [[OSL 3.0 question>>url:http://opensource.org/comment/834#comment-834]]
178
179 //We´re searching for an easy-to-understand overview of OSL and GPL - with the main differences, advantages and disadvantages of each. Does anyone know such a document? There are some new software-tools published under OSL and nobody knows what this really mean.//
180
181 (I think the question, in the form it's asked, is too much to address. And the license explanation is (currently) linked, that should help. So I'd suggest removal for this too.)(I agree and have hidden it. That said, we should consider adding links to "canonical" license explanations to every license. See forthcoming email to license-discuss. –Luis)
182
183 [[ISC comment>>url:http://opensource.org/comment/1170#comment-1170]]
184
185 //The original ISC license said "and distribute." My understanding is that this addition was requested by rms for approval by the FSF, (I believe the issue was related to Pine, and the interpretation UW used). OpenBSD does not use and/or, but instead uses the ISC license before this was modified. I think it should be clarified that the OpenBSD usage is a valid variation of the ISC License.//
186
187 I'd bring it to your attention, because if there is indeed an issue here, then I think it would be worth to clarify valid variations. (Good find. Email sent to the mailing list about this. –Luis)
188
189 [[MIT question>>url:http://opensource.org/comment/1754#comment-1754]]
190
191 //May I enquire as to what specific forms are permissable to meet the "…The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software…" requirement? For example, does the notice need to appear within an application's user interface somewhere? If so, does it matter where? If not, how specifically does it need to be incorporated? Embedded within any file? Only a separate file? What about a a phone app, where this would be impractical? What about a hardware product where the code is compiled into firmware and there is no practical or desirable way of displaying the notice? Thanks in advance!//
192
193 Note: the question how to apply a license isn't unique. (And is addressed [[in our FAQ>>url:http://opensource.org/faq#apply-license]], fwiw. -Karl) (Agreed that it is already in the FAQ, so have hidden. But if someone wants to suggest enhancement to the existing FAQ question based on this reading- go for it! -Luis)
