Title: MindTree Public License (MTPL)
Submission:
http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mss:11139:200510:ecmngoaakbmlijlpoibm
License: in the submission.
Comments: Universal dislike.  Rick Moen points out that since
    copyright assignment must be done via a separate contract, it
    fails OSD#7 (Distribution of License).  By specifying a technology
    ("By clicking on the I Agree button below"), it violates OSD#10
    (License Must Be Technology-Neutral). 
Recommend: rejection.
