OpenVision Variant

Notes

This license contains a title preservation clause, which can literally be read as a purported requirement to assign copyright in derivative works upstream to OpenVision. However, the use of the word "retained" suggests instead that it should be read as a mere assertion of persistence of copyright in derivative works.

Since this would automatically occur, as long as code persists from the original OpenVision copyrighted code base, under this interpretation, this becomes functionally equivalent to MIT.

UnixCrypt Variant

Notes

This MIT variant is worded in a slightly confusing manner and does not include a warranty disclaimer. While this is technically free (and GPL-compatible), we do not recommend its use.

Text

 for non-commercial or commercial purposes and without fee is
 hereby granted provided that this copyright notice appears in
 all copies.

Variant Text

Yes, there is a variant of this variant, replacing the "non-commercial or commercial purposes and without fee" wording that is confusing with "any purpose with or without fee". It is still free (and GPL-compatible), but because of the absence of any warranty disclaimer, we do not recommend its use.

 Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software 
 for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above
 copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.

Cheusov variant

Notes

This variant does not give explicit permission to redistribute unmodified copies, however, since it does give permission to "copy" unmodifed copies, we are interpreting it that way. Also, since it does grant explicit permission to redistribute modified code, we feel the intent was to grant permission to redistribute unmodified copies as well. That said, this license is poorly worded, and we do not recommend its use.
