     9 | Unlike other open source licenses, AOCL is a fixed version without automatic version upgrading, removing confusion about which version applies to a given software, whether derivatives can or cannot utilize "later versions" of this license, and ensuring all modifications to software under this license can be upstreamed without additional restrictions placed on those modifications.
    10 | 
    11 | This license represents a middle ground that is more protective than permissive licenses and more pragmatic than traditional strong copyleft licenses, allowing the software to be used in widely diverse contexts with appropriate attribution and patent protections, and maintaining a consistent set of obligations that cannot change over time without the explicit permission of the original authors or copyright holders of the software. By choosing this license, you contribute to a collaborative ecosystem that balances freedom, recognition, and practical adoption.
