@ -387,6 +387,18 @@ Why is Public Domain no longer acceptable for new BIPs?
* In some jurisdictions, public domain is not recognised as a legitimate legal action, leaving the BIP simply copyrighted with no redistribution or modification allowed at all.
==Changes from BIP 1==
* Acceptable licenses are redefined entirely, allowing a wide variety of open licenses, while prohibiting the problematic older choices.
* An implementation is now required (when applicable) before BIPs can proceed to Accepted Status.
* The License preamble headers have been added.
* BIP Comments are newly introduced.
* Non-image auxiliary files are permitted in the bip-XXXX subdirectory.
* The Post-History header may be provided as a link instead of a simple date.
* The Resolution header has been dropped, as it is not applicable to a decentralised system where no authority exists to make final decisions.
* Email addresses are now required for authors.
* Markdown format is no longer permitted for BIPs.
