A '''parametric license''' is just a [[license]] with options and fill-in-the-blanks. [[Commodity markets]] rely on them. The [[Creative Commons]] regime has many such options. [[Open Source]] originated due to the demand for some options that [[free software]] did not allow for. Partly in response to this, even the [[GFDL]] has some ability to vary conditions, for [[Invariant Section]]s, [[Front-Cover Text]] and [[Back-Cover Text]] in particular. Strangely, some people object to these parameters as somehow being reflective of a ''lack'' of freedom, although its not clear why they want or need the "freedom" to alter authorship, institutional affiliations, at will. The [[Green Documentation License]] and [[Consumerium Software License]] are both expected to be parametric, and possibly based on existing parametric regimes.
