So would I but only one of your questions really centered around the 
license so other questions seem irrelevant to approval of the license 
per se.  IMHO, that is.

My only point is that if we don't keep the approval discussion to the 
license itself, then we are going to have bigger issues than this.  The 
basic issue is:  If we hold attacks against the GPL by Microsoft against 
them in these procedings then it becomes reasonable to hold attacks 
against *any other* OSI-approved license by any other submitting 
organization.  Do we want to open this door even a little?

Best Wishes,
