From 3f5d95c7188a41be7660738f536f98155341302a 2020-11-30 23:45:21 From: Bradley M. Kuhn Date: 2020-11-30 23:45:21 Subject: [PATCH] Major redraft after consideration and first public posting. After publishing, two things came to mind. First, we must assure that the FOSS project is acting in good faith to curtail bad actors from, say, slapping a copy of the GPL on a Hollywood film and calling it a FOSS project. Second, it's important to mention circumvention techniques explicitly to make it abundantly clear we're concerned about any §1201 enforcement — be they takedown related or not. --- diff --git a/pledge.txt b/pledge.txt index 1a0c146d8d83e516f67d8e908f718c4c69ceb22e..d382802d752b4539d0765adb027394b9ad3a244c 100644 --- a/pledge.txt +++ b/pledge.txt @@ -1,9 +1,10 @@ DMCA Cooperation Pledge, Version NO-RELEASE-YET =============================================== -We agree that regarding any and all alleged copyright infringement committed -by any software project that is licensed under (or intends to license under) -an OSI-Approved License, that we will give notice to the project, and take no -action of copyright enforcement (including but not limited to DMCA takedown) -for at least 30 days from the date of notice of our concerns made to the -project. +We pledge that, regarding any and all alleged copyright infringement and/or +alleged promulgation of circumvention techniques, by any software project +that is licensed in good faith under an OSI-Approved License, that we will +give notice to the project, and take no action of copyright enforcement or +other legal action (including but not limited to DMCA takedown due to +copyright infringement or DMCA §1201 violations), for at least 30 days from +the date of notice of our concerns made to the project.
