[dundee] EU (FOSS) Public Licence

[Robert Ladyman]

Dear All,

EUPL

Interesting article in September's Linux Magazine (issue 118) about the EU 
FOSS licence and NO, it's not "just another licence". This one is FSF and FOSS 
compliant, conforms with the law of ALL 27 member states and has been tested 
to comply with the EU and member state laws. A catch-all means that there are 
no problems with determining applicable law and jurisdiction - all this has 
the bonus that there is no question as to whether a court will deem the 
licence to be valid (that is, the licence will not be questioned, just the 
acts or deeds in relation to the licence).
