Stephen,
I've looked at your graphics visualization software
(http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz)
and read the license. It seems compatible with the
Modified BSD license that we use for Axiom
(http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/axiom)
although I can't say that I fully understand all
the possible legal ramifications.
I've contacted your licensing dept (address@hidden).
The general mechanism that Axiom uses with software is to distribute
the original tarball unchanged. During the build process patches are
dynamically applied. This is compatible with your license as I
understand it.
In addition, we have a wiki website. If we find this software useful
we're likely to extend it to handle hyperlinking to our source
files. This is non-commercial use and does not involve distribution in
any physical sense. Nevertheless, we're willing to contribute patches
back to the original project.
Can I assume that if we make changes you are the person to receive the
patches?
