Description
Hello,
I would like to program with Choco Solver, however the license is holding me back.
On the Internet I read:
"BSD 4-Clause License.
Like 3-Clause, additionally with the obnoxious BSD advertising clause. (Use of this license is strongly discouraged!)"
What is the reason for using this license?
I believe this clause can never be adhered to and I have not seen any website that has this clause included. The sentence "All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
must display the following acknowledgement." has only legal uncertainty as a result (in my opinion)
Is there a plan to use a different license?
