OK, what is the Open Vendor Public License / Open Vendor Lesser Public License in technical terms?
For those familiar with licensing terminology, the licenses are modern reciprocal licenses, with patent grants and a ‘patent peace’ clause, and neutral jurisdiction. The licenses provide additional rights to the Initial Developer in respect of contributed modifications. The license is heavily based on the CDDL, which is in turn heavily based on the MPL. Sun’s page documenting the evolution of the CDDL can be found here.
