Subject: Difference between Scintilla's license and ISC
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 13:24:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87blytrf6o.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr> (raw)
Hello,
In bug#36043 (<https://issues.guix.info/issue/36043>), we discuss an
issue about the license used in Scintilla. More specifically, the
question is:
Does Scintilla desserve its own license in license.scm, or should it
use ISC?
For the record, the Scintilla license is:

and the ISC license is:
