Honestly, these kinds of "special" clauses can cause all kinds of
trouble. It's effectively a new license which in some settings can
trigger additional review, etc. <br>
<br>
It sounds like excellent work and I sure respect your desire to
encourage others to contribute changes back to the project. That's
the spirit of the original BSD License IMO. 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.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
Digital Worlds Group, LLC has recently contracted with a viewer
developer to help us to create a new Murmur/Mumble Voice solution
for OpenSim.<br>
We have most of this solution ready for use, but it does need some
further work.<br>
<br>
The solution requires viewer code, opensim code, and the murmur
server to be installed and used.<br>
We currently have a version of Firestorm with the required code.<br>
This viewer code will be on a publicly accessible git repository
for all to access and should be easy for all other viewers to grab
and include in those releases as well.<br>
<br>
This solution uses the latest available release of the Murmur
Server.<br>
<br>
We plan to release the OpenSim code as Open Source as well, and
intended on using a BSD 3 clause license, but we want to ensure
that any and all future changes to this code are contributed back
to the community.<br>
We hope our code will be included into OpenSim core so that
everyone can benefit, but we want to know if anyone would take
issue with an included clause that specify all changes to the code
be contributed back to the core?<br>
<br>
Commercial or private use of the code will be permitted for any
use, without exclusions, but we want to make sure that everyone
can benefit from any changes others make as well, making this a
true community owned project.<br>
<br>
Anyone have any reservations about such a declaration in our
license?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
