Hello,
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but I couldn't find a better
place.
I've modified ODE and would like to release my version as a separate
program, under the BSD and LGPL licenses.
My questions are:
1. How should I give myself credit in the BSD license file
(LICENSE-BSD.TXT), while keeping the original copyright notice? I'm
referring to the following text:
Open Dynamics Engine
Copyright (c) 2001-2004, Russell L. Smith.
All rights reserved.
Should I append my copyright notice, or prepend it, or does it make no
difference? Do I also need to keep "Open Dynamics Engine"? (my program
obviously has a different name).
2. How and who should I give credit in the source and header files? I'm
referring to the following text:
/*************************************************************************
* *
* Open Dynamics Engine, Copyright (C) 2001,2002 Russell L. Smith. *
* All rights reserved. Email: russ at q12.org Web: www.q12.org *
Can/should I change the name of the program to my own? Should I keep the
Copyright notice? Should I append/prepend mine?
3. Same question, regarding the README file.
Again I'm sorry if these questions are irrelevant or dumb, but I couldn't
find any web reference that answers them.
Thanks,
Michael Goldish
