 All licenses not explicitly included in the above lists are not acceptable terms for a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal unless a later BIP extends this one to add them.
 However, BIPs predating the acceptance of this BIP were allowed under other terms, and should use these abbreviation when no other license is granted:

+* OPUBL-1.0: [https://opencontent.org/openpub/ Open Publication License, version 1.0]
 * PD: Released into the public domain
 
 ===Rationale===
 
 BIP 1 allowed the Open Publication License or releasing into the public domain; was this insufficient?
 
-* The OPL is generally regarded as obsolete, and not a license suitable for new publications.
-* Many are unfamiliar with the OPL terms, and may just prefer to use the public domain rather than license under uncertain terms.
-* The OPL license terms allowed for the author to prevent publication and derived works, which was widely considered inappropriate for Bitcoin standards.
+* The OPUBL-1.0 is generally regarded as obsolete, and not a license suitable for new publications.

 * Public domain is not universally recognised as a legitimate action, thus it is inadvisable.
 
 Why are there software licenses included?

     The comments feature saw insignificant adoption. Few BIPs received any comments and barely any more than two with
     only a handful of contributors commenting at all. This led to many situations in which one or two comments ended up
     dominating the comment summary. While some of those comments may have been representative of broadly held opinions,

 A multi-signature transaction is one where a certain number of Bitcoins are "encumbered" with more than one recipient address.  The subsequent transaction that spends these coins will require each party involved (or some subset, depending on the script), to see the proposed transaction and sign it with their private key.  This necessarily requires collaboration between all parties -- to propose a distribution of encumbered funds, collect signatures from all necessary participants, and then broadcast the completed transaction.
