I would suggest that the criteria w.r.t. "non-duplicative" should
be clarified. I see no problem with a license becoming "gold approved"
which is (say) entirely duplicative of a non-gold license, except
that it (say) is in template form so multiple people can use it - that
*discourages* proliferation of multiple similar non-gold licenses.
I think point re. duplication should be that each gold license should
contribute something substantially different from any other gold
license (not any other OSD approved license).
