Hello all, I'm new here. I wanted as nickname just wizard but it was taken. So Magus.Wizard instead; in my view, a wizard is somebody who really understands computers, a computer wizard, a master, a profi. Not too much about myself, more to the topic - I get tired from all the crap can be found even in Linux, like Debian I mostly work with. There is a possibility to solve the problem, anyway, it will go most probably under a different name. As a new OS. Remember the story with Firefox and Debian Iceweasel? Same thing. So if you have wishes for a new OS post them here.
But before I "publish" anything online I need a new license. In fact, I have a concept, so I need only few details to make it ready to go first step with a development version. One problem with OpenSource is, that any idiot may damage your work, no matter how well you did it. Examples are Apache Web server, RADIUS and some versions of Linux kernel, maybe even something more. My concept is StableSource, I will try to describe a sample version of Stable Source license, if everything is OK it will go as first version and all original software will go with it.

The following license (further StableSource license) does not define if software is open or closed, free or not, it only gives software authors terms to define it in and cares about stability. StableSource license can be suitable to all sorts of software where accent is made on quality and stability.
Commercial Product: members of developing enterprise have write access to all parts of software, allowed freaks with special keys can modify theme and script files, re-compose install packages, adding to them last updates, all the others have to pay for right to use the software product.
Free Product: it can be used and distributed for free with no limitations, like OpenSource. When it is modified, the modified version has to have a mark in its name showing that it is not a stable version. Examples: "ProgPack openmod Turbo" or "ProgPack rom 123". Openmod stands for open modification (similar to OpenSource), rom stands for registered open modification (version is registered in the project and gets its own number, that is easier than with names). Only the project board can acknowledge a version of program as stable after it is checked. Default versions are stable versions, but if you want you can use any of open ones.
As author of software you only need to write "This software is free in terms of Stablesource license" or "This software is Commercial Product in terms of StableSource license".


This version of license is not perfect, that with stable and open modifications is now only in free product, anyway, there might be even more things to do, and I think it's best way if other people first view and rate it. It's some kind of Request For Comment in the original meaning. So post your wishes to a new operating system and what you think about the license, how it could be made better, then let's go further.
