The bit of this thread that I think isn't in a rut is the BSD-esque
relicense idea, and whether or not this would make the license acceptable
to those who think it's unacceptable.

Whilst technical conformance to the OSD and OSI approval is one thing, I'd
also (community hat on) like to make the license as useful as possible to
everyone else.
