Sorry.  Let me explain.  The License Approval Committee is not
changing.  License-discuss will continue to have a direct channel into
the committee's deliberations.  All the traditional criteria for
approving a license remain.  Three new criteria have been added:
template, new/unique, and humane language.

License Proliferation will handle the tiering.  They will undoubtedly
use the three new criteria to help them, but they'll use other
criteria of their own devise as well.
