The fact that there could be translation issues and that I don't know what the contents of the draft proposal are is why I was asking for some comments...
'must allow' could mean that if it allows for redistribution it must be in the same conditions.

Free Software Association -- Bulgaria' list members, can you comment on the following? As reported, the draft law would seem to discard all non copyleft Free Software, or is this a translation/miscommunication issue?
Are you referring to this?
In the Bulgarian definition, free software must allow for:
[...]
- Modification and free distribution of changes as well as of the newly
designed software under the same conditions as those of the original.
Also BSD licensed software, e.g., *allows* for distribution of changes under the same conditions. It doesn't require it, so it also allows for distribution under other conditions, but I don't see that this would be forbidden.
IANAL, of course.
