[License-discuss] License Review Request - Anu Initiative

[Bruce Perens]

I apologize for the worse phrasing than necessary. It did not further the
discussion.

I'm not mistaken, everyone knew that the Vaccine license was from me before
the vote. I accepted the penalty. The penalty process should have ended at
that point. That two people pursue it today seems strange to me.

I have not returned to license-review since then, nor do I plan to. This is
simply from my belief in the diminished value of the process, unless it is
dealing with legislation or case law as Brian mentioned. And of course that
is rare so far.

If it is the OSI's sentiment that every  submission must go through the
process and be treated as honorably as any other, and that I should not
warn people in this forum about the way they can actually hurt developers
with a poorly constructed license, I will no longer do so. It's your party.
I can talk about such things elsewhere.

Thanks

Bruce
