If I copied a dated opinion, or misread it, please let me know. I also believe every MIT advocate follows secparam in a secondary preference for dual licensing. I also presume Chammy is BOSL, yet didn’t see any explicit statements saying that. A lot of people asked questions/gave some opinion, but didn’t state a preference, and wasn’t included accordingly. If I missed you, feel free to comment your preference to be added. IF YOU FEEL I MISREPRESENTED IN YOU IN ANY WAY, TELL ME AND I’LL CORRECT IT. THE END. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/bosl-or-mit-orchard/41439)._
