<div>When did justification for not using GPL suddenly become a litmus test for new license approval? I didn’t get the memo about there being OSD #11 License submitter must provide justification for not using GPLV3 because they are involved in software for
specific endeavors Larry thinks is important.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They want a weak copyleft. GPLV3 isn’t one. What further justification do you need for not using GPLv3? They don’t need to provide a point by point refutation of your memo. At most it’s “tell us why vanilla MPL isn’t satisfactory”.</div>
