While I respect the committee's efforts and conclusions, please 
reconsider the word "redundant".  It is poorly descriptive and even 
inflammatory.  "Licenses with similar goals to more popular licenses" 
or even "Less popular licenses" would probably go over more smoothly.  
Surely the committee can find language that is appropriately dissuasive 
without being offensive.
