So when somebody asks you for information you were supposed to give
them five weeks ago, and then asks again when you don't even bother to
acknowledge their request, it's whining?

Oh, so you admit to that.  Do you also admit to shirking it?

I did not submit anything called the FreeBSD license.

IIRC, the matter of the name of the license I did submit was brought
up on license-discuss, and I pointed out that it is used by several
projects, some of which are known for their animosity towards each
other.  Naming the license after one of those projects would not be a
smart move, especially when that project was not even the first to use
it.
