You can't stop an abortion clinic
1:02:05
or an anti-abortion activist from using the software
1:02:08
There is no discrimination against fields of endeavor
1:02:13
And that means the software has to be usable
1:02:17
in a business as well as in a school
1:02:21
The license has to be distributable
1:02:25
In other words
1:02:27
I have to be able to give that license to someone
1:02:30
and that license then should work
1:02:35
if that someone gives it to yet a third person
1:02:38
The license can't be specific to a product
1:02:42
in other words
1:02:44
if I distribute my software on a Red Hat system
1:02:50
the license can't say
1:02:52
you can't distribute this on a SuSE or Debian system
1:02:56
The license can't contaminate other software
1:03:01
So if I distribute this on a CD with another program
1:03:08
It can't say that other program must be free
1:03:12
otherwise you can't distribute my software
1:03:16
And then the only other part of
1:03:19
the Open Source definition
1:03:20
is a list of licenses that were accepted
1:03:24
And the ones that we started with were the GPL
1:03:28
which was actually the example for a lot of
1:03:32
what's in the Open Source definition in the BSD license
1:03:36
because software for BSD system pre-existed Linux
1:03:48
I think the next moment that I thought
was really pivotal
1:03:52
was when the database vendors flipped over
1:03:55
which happened about three months sooner
1:03:57
than I expected to
1:03:59
and actually happened in late July early August
