I read the following in Wikipedia:
The original BitTorrent application was written in Python
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_programming_lang
uage> and its source
code has been released under the BitTorrent Open Source
<http://e
n.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source> License (a
modified version of
the Jabber <http://en.wik
ipedia.org/wiki/Jabber> Open Source License), as
of version 4.0.
[See http://en.wi
kipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent.]
I wasn't aware of a version 4.0 of the Jabber Open Source
License; the only
Jabber license posted at OSI's website is version 1.0. Nor
is a BitTorrent
Open Source License posted on the OSI website.
I found this article through a link on the FSF website, at
which they refer
to BitTorrent as a "free format" that they use
to post their conferences on
the web. [See http://gplv3.fsf.org/av.
]
Any further information????
