Well of course we can have it hosted somewhere else than at copythis.org,
like at opensource.org where you control it.

The hot-buttons being pushed are not mine. A particular incident of
Stallman-baiting on this list came close to causing a large company to
drop the Open Source process. The sniping at each other has not stopped
since then.

I'm not asking you to be disciplined about you say. I'm just asking for two
lists, so that it gets said on one and not the other. It doesn't sound like
too much to ask, Brian. Do you care more about sniping at each other than you
do about getting people to produce Open Source licenses for their products?

I've been doing a whole lot of negociation to get people to comply with the
OSD. A little bit of help to make the job easier would be appreciated.

	Thanks
