Floodgap Free Software License



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

I've encountered a software (named oysttyer) written under the
Floodgap Free Software License [1].

I don't see this license on a list of acceptable ones in the web. It
looks like a no-commercial license.

The header [3] of it is as follows:

                      Floodgap Free Software License

The author of your software has chosen to distribute it under the
Floodgap Free Software License. Although this software is without cost,
it is not released under Copyleft or GPL, and there are differences
which you should read. Your use of this software package constitutes
your binding acceptance without restriction.

This software is without cost

The Floodgap Free Software License (FFSL) has one overriding mandate:
that software using it, or derivative works based on software that uses
it, must be free. By free we mean simply "free as in beer" -- you may
put your work into open or closed source packages as you see fit,
whether or not you choose to release your changes or updates publicly,
but you must not ask any fee for it. (There are certain exceptions for
for-profit use which we will discuss below.)



I would like to put it in pkgsrc/licenses under a name 'ffsl'. Are we
OK with it?
