Multiple issues wikify December 2010 unreferenced May 2010 License borrowing is a feature that allows a user to run software on a computer that is not continuously connected to the license server on the network. When making a borrow request, the user is either connected to the server over the network, or with some systems the license can be borrowed via secure file exchange between the disconnected user s system and the server. After the license has been borrowed, the user can then disconnect the computer from the network and continue to use the software for the length of the borrow period, which is typically determined by the software vendor. During this time, the borrowed license is removed from the pool of available licenses. After the borrow period expires the license is then checked back into the pool.

Infobox software license name Python License image caption author Corporation for National Research Initiatives version copyright date OSI approved Yes Debian approved Free Software Yes GPL compatible No copyleft No linking The Python License is a deprecated computer software license created by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives CNRI . It was used for versions 1.6 and 2.0 of the Python programming language Python programming language , both released in the year 2000. The Python License is similar to the BSD License and, while it is a free software license , its wording means that it is incompatible with the GNU General Public License GPL used by a great deal of free software including the Linux kernel . For this reason CNRI retired the license in 2001 in favour of the Python Software Foundation License . Origin Python was created by Guido van Rossum and the initial copyright was held by his employer, the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica CWI . During this time Python was distributed under a GPL compatible variant of the Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer license. ref cite web url http www.python.org download releases 2.5 license title Python 2.5 license with historical notes publisher Python.org accessdate 2008 03 31 ref . CNRI obtained ownership of Python when van Rossum became employed there, and after some years they drafted a new license for the language. Retirement The Python License includes a clause stating that the license is governed by the State of Virginia, United States , which made it, in the view of the Free Software Foundation s FSF lawyers, incompatible with the GNU GPL. This limited the usefulness of Python to the free software community as Python could not be used or distributed as part of a combined work with software released under the GPL. For this reason, the FSF worked with CNRI to make modifications. The result was the Python Software Foundation License Python 1.6.1 differs from Python 1.6 only in some minor bug fixes and the new ... more details

Sleepycat License sometimes referred to as Berkeley Database License or the Sleepycat Public License is an Open Source Initiative OSI approved open source license used by Oracle Corporation for the Berkeley DB , Berkeley DB Java Edition and Berkeley DB XML embedded database products. The name of this license is derived from the name of the company which commercially sold the Berkeley DB products, Sleepycat Software , which was acquired by Oracle in 2006. Oracle continues to use the name Sleepycat License despite not using the term Sleepycat in any other documentation. According to the Free Software Foundation , ref http www.fsf.org licensing licenses Licenses Free Software Foundation Bot generated title ref it qualifies as a free software license , and is compatible with the GNU General Public License GPL . The license is a strong form of copyleft because it mandates that redistributions in any form not only include the source code of Berkeley DB , but also any accompanying software that uses the DB software .
