Author's Choice of Terminology License
Draft 2, 22 August 2009


ACTL is a license that aims to ensure all modified works under it, when propagated, convey the same naming terminology that the original author chose for the work, as well as cover the works under the same license. For example, some software developers choose to advocate the freedom of software, instead of the open form of development. Free Software apposed to Open Source.

This license is intended to be used as a "sub-license" or additional license to licenses that the ACTL is compatible with, i.e. any license allowing additional restrictive terms. The ACTL is currently incompatible with the GNU GPL.

The ACTL is currently not ready for usage in software, it is not as strong and enforceable, as other licenses software developers are used to seeing, and need it to be. We encourage everyone with legal experience to help us out. Constructive criticism, comments, suggestions, or actual legal paragraphs to help strengthen this license are appreciated.

The ACTL is currently a Draft 2 license.
