7 I forgot that the license files upstream might change
8 so I agree you need a copy downstream.

10 However, if the "End User License Agreement for
11 Open Source Software Development" document alone
12 doesn't say that
13
14 1) "Perforce Software reserves the right to approve
15 the Open Source license" (from [4]) and
16
17 2) "Execution of a End User License Agreement [..]
18 is required" (from [4])
19
20 (which at least I didn't find in the PDF) you will have
21 to add that somewhere somehow because people could
22 otherwise start using then software under that license
23 without being permitted to.

25 Also, please pay extra attention to the difference
26 between the terms "Open Source License" and
27 "Open Source End User License Agreement". Thank you.
