Moving to 3.26.0 -- hoping we can get another +1 soon in order to get this merged quickly in the next release cycle.

+1 to add but with a more general name. I see at least three sources and I would not call it after one or the other. I don't have a good proposal other that Permission Terms No Fee / PT-no-fee. I would by the way omit "with" and "without" in all future license names, since these terms are too close to expression operators WITH.

so, we have two +1 to add, but @karsten-klein brings up the ID issue. I'm not sure the "without fee" (or "no fee") is all that identifying.

Also not sure where Boehm-GC comes from? or STLport? are these just some of the sources @karsten-klein mentions that use this license?

discussed on 9/12 call - went over history re: naming and similar license and why this name (disregard my above comment)
given that history, I'm good with this name.
make sure to add a note as to similarity to other license with similar name
