Hi JoshS,
Genuine question: What was the license aiming to achieve?
I think some people in this thread think its a way for ECC to keep their software proprietary. Which makes some people concerned.
My limited understanding is the opposite: ECC is trying to let anyone who uses it keep it proprietary for a year and then those people can either publish their new work (including anything built on top of halo) under the same license OR negotiate a different license with whoever owns the copyright for the software.
