Python licence again

[Laszlo Zsolt Nagy]

Hi All!

I know there has been a post about Python licencing but I have different
questions. I tried to Google for "Python Licence" and "Python Licencing"
but I could not find the answer.
Is there a place where I can ready about Python licencing? (A FAQ
maybe?) I really need to know the details of the licence, but not in the
lawyer's language. Just simple questions:

- How put a software under the Python licence?
- What can I do with the software?
- What can't I do?

I only need to know the most common things (like who can copy,
distribute, who can ask for money etc.)

I would like to make a bigger application. I would like to make it Open
source. GPL is not so good because I would like to encourage commercial
users too. I believe the best is to use the same licence for my application.

Thank you,

Laci 2.0

You must be joking. It didn't occur to you to check the FAQ at
www.python.org?

try spelling license correctly next time and heading the google

Oh yes, that was the problem. I'm not aware of that. Unfortunately, I'm
not an American. I'm Hungarian
and my dictionary said 'licence' is correct. But I looked at 'license'.
It means almost the same.

Is it something like 'center' or 'color' for Americans and 'centre' or
'colour' for British people?

License"

Google knows that "licence" is an alternate (as opposed to mispelled)
version of "license" and returns matches with either spelling, so it
does not give you the "didn't you mean" prompt.

Could be, I noticed one of the returned matches where "licence" was
used
had a .uk domain.

Yes. ISTR that licence is a British English spelling, though my
British brain has been thoroughly contaminated by US spellings and
usage by now. (Or are they like practice and practise, which (can)
mean subtly different things in British English (which few native
English speakers can keep straight, certainly not me...)?)

I will never pronounce thorough 'thurrow', though. One must draw a
line.

Yup, pesky furriners, can't spell 'Merican prop'ly like God intended;
they shouldn't be allowed on the net, sheriff should run 'em right out
o' the county ...

and heading

Would that be like heading a soccer ball?

the google

You might find, were you to try it, that it makes no such suggestions.

How *do* you pronounce it? "Thurrow" seems to match
how I say the word, along with everyone else I've
ever met (until now?).

I would pronounce it like 'thurra', since I'm Scottish. It always makes
me cringe when Americans pronounce 'Edinburgh' as 'edin-burrow' rather
then 'edin-burra'.

I love how this newsgroup can digress so quickly..

And I would pronounce it as just "edin-burr"... I've
heard the (as you call it) American pronunciation before,
but never the, uh, real one, which you use.

I love how this newsgroup can digress so quickly..

It does do that, doesn't it? And all on its own, too! ;-)

The city in Pennsylvania is spelled "Edinboro", so there are a
few people over here with a decent excuse.

And it could be worse, we could call it "edun-burg".

 

[has]

Yes. ISTR that licence is a British English spelling, though my
British brain has been thoroughly contaminated by US spellings and
usage by now.

Oh, it only gets worse: a couple years on the illiterate intarweb and
even basics like "its" and "it's" become a major struggle. ;p

(Or are they like practice and practise, which (can)

Yep, we aim to confuse:

licence, practice = noun
license, practise = verb

How do you spell license correctly?

 

[John J. Lee]

Me too (England).

It always
makes me cringe when Americans pronounce 'Edinburgh' as 'edin-burrow'
rather then 'edin-burra'.

Edin-br. (There's a short vowel (a "schwa"?) on the end there that I
missed off because there's no unambigous ASCII symbol for it... But
it's the same vowel a child uses - at least in England! - to say "r"
when running through the alphabet, before they've learned the names
(ay bee cee dee) for the letters.)

Sheriff is not available, for further info pls ask for R. Marley.

Would that be like heading a soccer ball?

Or heeding the sucker call (like I just did?)

You might find, were you to try it, that it makes no such suggestions.

Google isn't what it used to be when I was 6 yrs old.

I don't understand the connection with Bob Marley; pls enlighten me.

He shot the sheriff.

What makes you think you were heeding a sucker call?

Perhaps it's just bad wordplay from me. I assumed you knew that
'heading' was a misspelt 'heeding' but you playingly used literally
"heading" in your reply. For those who didn't get understand that,
though, I offered the correct "heeding" and then rhyming with "soccer
ball", I presented myself as the sucker who offered the correct spelling
when _it was not needed_.

So I didn't think I was heeding a sucker call at any moment, I just
wrote that as a pun. There were no indirect accusations about your
post, if that is what you meant.

That would make you, what, say 10 years old now?

When I was 6 yrs old, Google was inexistant. It isn't anymore, so my
assertion is correct (even though it's useless I'm 33 btw.
