I would like to program with Choco Solver, however the license is holding me back.
On the Internet I read:
"BSD 4-Clause License.
Like 3-Clause, additionally with the obnoxious BSD advertising clause. (Use of this license is strongly discouraged!)"
What is the reason for using this license?
I believe this clause can never be adhered to and I have not seen any website that has this clause included. The sentence "All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
must display the following acknowledgement." has only legal uncertainty as a result (in my opinion)
Is there a plan to use a different license?
Thank you for pointing that out. I think it's a legacy and needs to be challenged.
However, I'll have to check this with the legal department before deciding on the new licence.
This will certainly take time.
Just a follow-up.
I've just had a discussion with my institution's legal department and the study has been launched. I can hope to have an answer early in 2024.
