James, I understand the problem of the companies pushing for that, but a
license that everyone can use except Amazon, or SaaS companies, or SaaS
companies over a certain size, isn't copyleft and isn't "strong" copyleft.
It's just restrictive. Heather and Kyle came up with "Polyform", which IMO
sounds too much like "colorforms" but it's fine as long as you don't call
it "Open Source" or "Free Software".
