[beyond-copyright] easy question to start, naming

[Tony Wasserman]

Hi, Allison (and everyone else),

In your earlier summary of the O'Reilly sustainability summit, you wrote 
about addressing "aspects of open source beyond copyright licenses, with 
a goal of making a clear simple statement of principles".  I'd 
personally prefer that we not use "copyright" or "licensing" in the name 
of the working group, but rather something like "openness principles". 
That approach could suggest the creation of a list of characteristics 
that could be used in parallel with the OSD.  I can imagine copyright 
being among those characteristics, but we probably also want to address 
a broader range of topics.  (I have a few in mind, but this is not the 
time, nor place, for that.)

Cheers, and don't eat too many chocolate Easter bunnies.

Tony
