Alex,

I've looked over the SOS license.

In my opinion, it isn't sufficiently different from other licenses already
accepted as Open Source to justify the addition of yet another license.

In addition, I think its "simplicity" isn't real - you aren't an attorney,
and hidden within the license language are some ambiguities and a number of
self-contradictions.

It doesn't seem as if you really _need_ this license. You could use one or
more of the existing ones and have the same effect.

	Thanks
