问题


I remember reading about an open source license which did not grant permission to fork.

I don't remember its name and thought it might be easier to ask here than to go through the entire list of OSI's approved licenses. Anyone knows which license I might be talking about?


回答1:


I suspect that you're embarking on a doomed quest here, given that item 3 of the OSI definition of an open source license seems to explicitly prohibit a clause that would prevent forking.




回答2:


First thing which comes to my mind is CC-ND: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.0/




回答3:


By definition Open Source allow fork: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_definition

A license that didn't allow forking isn't an Open Source license




回答4:


Probably the only thing you can do is just use some trickery, like manipulate your trademark policy and the code well enough to effectively prevent a fork.

And as was mentioned, doing this in the license will technically make it no longer free software.
