Could you elaborate on that?
Given that I wasn't using the GPL, I was concerned that anyone committing against my code would do so under "all rights reserved" and would effectively be forking my code from the point of their revision. I wanted to make sure the code stayed under my BSD-2-Clause license.
I'm pretty confused by this whole situation.
IANAL, but if you add restrictions such that you require modifications to be under the BSD-2-Clause license, then it seems like you have re-invented dual-licensing with the GPL license without any real benefit. If that is the case, I am not in favor of adding yet-another-licensing-scheme to our repository. But I could be swayed, given the right argument.
What is the pragmatic benefit of your proposed license?
Mark.
