[Opensim-dev] OpenSim - New Mumble/Murmur Module

[Frank Nichols]

Sadly, I have to agree. The work should be submitted with the bsd and no additional restrictions. I appreciate you desires, but it is hard enough to get things added without complicating the license.

And the foundation leaders would have to address whether they can accept the additional clause.  I'd really encourage you however to contribute what you've done under the plain BSD license without your additional clause if you can stomach that.  It would greatly ease adoption IMO.
