What is considered to be a "modification" of sources under the BSD license?
- by Den
I have a question about the 3-clause BSD license based on it's Wiki description.
It states:
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are
met: ...
What is understood by "modification"?
Specifically I am interested whether any/all of the following is considered as such modification:
1) reading the original sources and then re-implementing;
2) reading the original sources, waiting for a year and then re-implementing something based on whatever you could remember;
3) direct and very significant "complete" refactoring of the original sources.
