licence

[Alexander Garcia Castro]

Dear all, I would like to use lens. what are the restrictions imposed by the license? can lens be used by anybody? if I change the code, does it have to be also open source?

Looks like a 2-clause BSD license.

Totally copyfree.

So, yes, you can do whatever you want and you don't have to do anything but reproduce the copyright notice and license conditions somewhere.

Note, that's redistributing the _lens_ source.

There's no particular requirement on what you do with your original source.

What Randall said.

We chose BSD as a hat tip to Ivan who was working at Berkeley at the
time that he was working on Lens.
