Does anyone have a link to a copy of this licence? Gronky 12:27, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I realize this isn't a big deal, but why bother renaming this to "licence"? The vast majority of the software license pages are spelled using "license"; Google hits for "ISC license" outnumber hits for "ISC licence" by more than 10 to 1 (even including the Google hits that reference the WP article itself or the various mirrors of it). Just because the article was originally created with "licence" is no reason it can't be changed. As for policy, it does say that a certain spelling variant should be preferred if "an article's subject has a strong tie to a specific region/dialect, it should use that dialect." Now that isn't quite the case here, but the ISC are an American corporation. They authored the license, so I think it only makes sense to spell it with an "s". Neilc 02:49, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
The current footnotes (last two at least) are too personal and subjective, imo. I do not think they serve any purpose and should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janechii ( talk • contribs) 18:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
The licence was originally written by the Internet Software Consortium, not the Internet Systems Consortium. It is a bit deceptive to only mention Internet Systems Consortium, when this is not what ISC in the licence name stands for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torpcoms ( talk • contribs) 18:28, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
