Back to the original question... what short name do we give this license?
- It has an advertising clause
- It forbids relicensing under any form of the GPL (curious what that means
for potential derivative works)
- And it has the postcard/QSL card request, sort of like vim's donation
request
License: BSD with oddities
or
License: Difficult
?
It actually has some text in common with the Beer-ware license. At
least if this is the license of the entire package, or a substantial
part of it, I would suggest an identifier specific to this license,
perhaps "Diane Bruce [License]" (if I'm correct that the
author/licensor here is the FreeBSD developer Diane Bruce).
