[seul-edu] ISO Phase 3: KaraToJava

["Darryl Palmer" <Darryl_Palmer_Jr@acm.org>]

Here is a message that I received from Raimond Reichert, one of the
developers of Kara.  Are there any questions or concerns that we have
with the below license?  

I think we need further clarification on public institutions.  This
could mean public schools only and not private schools.

KaraToJava is not GPL, but free or non-commercial use. I have translated
our 
copyright statement to English:


Non-commercial use (eg, by public institutions or by individuals)

The teachings aids of EducETH may be used for free for non-commercial
use. The 
teachings aids may be modified for use, but the software must not be
modified. 
The reference to the authorship (EducETH plus the authors) may not be
removed.


I know this is exceedingly brief, but we do not have a real
legal-speak-like 
copyright statement, not even in German. Does the above suffice for your
purposes?

Raimond
