Software licensing

[Tony Linde]

For information, the license that I am looking into for IVOA projects use is
the Common Public License:
  http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cpl.php

I have a question about point *18* which I've directed to the authors (IBM):

'Does this mean that a commercial company who makes use of a portion or all
of our code and wishes to sell that modified code, must make the source code
of their amendments available?'

Basically I wanted to make sure any code produced is freely available with
no constraint on its use except to keep copyright notices in the code.

I'll update this list when I get a response.

Cheers,
Tony.
