Explanation:
|
|
|
|
Angle brackets hold "fields", e.g. <copyright holder>.
|
|
|
|
Square brackets hold optional text, e.g. [or <related entities>].
|
|
|
|
A license can have variations in capitalization and whitespace, and
|
|
still be considered an instance of this template.
|
|
|
|
It may be possible to construct a grammatically incorrect license from
|
|
this template, or one that lacks a disclaimer, or one that includes a
|
|
double-disclaimer. That is acceptable, as long as it remains impossible
|
|
to construct a non-OSD-compliant license that matches the pattern.
