As long as we are reviewing exceptions to licenses, I would like to ask about the Frama-C license (http://frama-c.com/). Parts of the code are covered by the QPL. In the source distribution, the file licenses/Q_MODIFIED_LICENSE says:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Generator is distributed under the terms of the Q Public License version 1.0 with a change to choice of law (included below).

[snip]

As a special exception to the Q Public License, you may develop application programs, reusable components and other software items that link with the original or modified versions of the Generator and are not made available to the general public, without any of the additional requirements listed in clause 6c of the Q Public license. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the entirety of clause 6:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. You may develop application programs, reusable components and other software items that link with the original or modified versions of the Software. These items, when distributed, are subject to the following requirements:

a. You must ensure that all recipients of machine-executable forms of these items are also able to receive and use the complete machine-readable source code to the items without any charge beyond the costs of data transfer.

b. You must explicitly license all recipients of your items to use and re-distribute original and modified versions of the items in both machine-executable and source code forms. The recipients must be able to do so without any charges whatsoever, and they must be able to re-distribute to anyone they choose.

c. If the items are not available to the general public, and the initial developer of the Software requests a copy of the items, then you must supply one. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is that exception worth noting in the License field? Thank you,
