Ism 6.2 Software Licences From Cdac.zip Now

They called it ISM 6.2 like a small ceremony of letters and numbers, an invocation stitched into the header of a ZIP: cdac.zip. Inside, compacted and quiet, lay a patchwork of licences — plain text sentinels that govern want, usage, and permission. To the untrained eye they were dry: clauses, clauses again, lines that begin with "whereas" and insist on attribution, on restrictions, on warranties disclaimed as if to ward off some ancient, contractual demon. To me they read like human weather.
