[License-discuss] Request Discussion Pre-Reviews For New Licenses (chewkeanho-rlos, chewkeanho-cos, chewkeanho-gpos)

[(Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho]

Hi all,

Wish you a lovely day. Complying to
https://opensource.org/licenses/review-process process, I wish to invite
everyone here to discuss and pre-review my newly drafted open-source
licenses not just for software but also general intellectual properties
usage before submitting to license-review mailing list.

The main goal is to create a new set of license frameworks which does not
require issuing multiple outbound licenses (e.g. Apache 2.0 for software,
CC-BY-ND for images, CC-BY-SA for video, ...) for a single project
repository and picked up the latest updates in the market implementations.

What was mainly updated:

   1. Changed Software to Product so that the license can be expanded to
   non-software product licensing usage (e.g. graphics, video, manufacturing
   design, audio, etc) without needing to spin multiple outbound licenses; AND
   2. Added license assignment, ratification, and tenure section to specify
   when and how is the license applied; AND
   3. Added version controlled clauses for which version shall be in effect
   by default; AND
   4. Added artificial intelligence training dataset usage clauses; AND
   5. Added Sensitive Data warranty and liability coverage; AND
   6. Added global vendors (e.g. datacenter) Sensitive Data limitation of
   liability; AND
   7. Added force manjure limitation of liability; AND
   8. Added global vendors (e.g. datacenter) Sensitive Data limitation of
   liability; AND
   9. Added judiciary minimal damage values limitation of liability; AND
   10. Expanded grant clauses into Creative Commons' rights categories;
   11. AND Added geographical indicator coverage; AND
   12. Added protected geographical indicator coverage; AND
   13. Added protected designation indicator coverage; AND
   14. Added industrial design use coverage; AND
   15. Added integrated circuit layout design use coverage; AND
   16. Added trade secret use coverage.

There are 4 sets of licenses (3 are open-source):

(1) chewkeanho-rlos
A libre-like license similar to BSD3-Clear but reserves registered IPs
(patent, etc) back to the owner.

Primary license source: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13777226
Backup license source: https://github.com/ChewKeanHo/license-rlos


(2) chewkeanho-cos
An Apache 2.0-like license where registered IPs are granting use licenses
by default.

Primary license source: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13788522
Backup license source: https://github.com/ChewKeanHo/license-cos


(3) chewkeanho-gpos
A GPLv2-like general public license. Functions like a backhole open-source
that makes everything general public and forcing upstream. Copyleft
boundaries designations (where its effects shall stop) are included and
warning notice is on the cover page in case of excited junior executives.

Primary license source: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13825030
Backup license source: https://github.com/ChewKeanHo/license-gpos


(4) chewkeanho-proprietary
A fallback, safety first, designed specifically for junior executives in
case of mishaps. The goal is that, when a project is generated, this shall
be the default license (where everything is locked up). Just in case a
junior accidentally "open" the project, the proprietary license effect is
still there where any senior / legal executive can fire-fight the
situation. The project can be re-licensed into the other open-source
licenses once the embargo is cleared by the business unit.

IMPORTANT: This is not an open-source license but is listed here for
reference as the other licenses are inter-relate with each other.

Primary license source: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13767361
Backup license source: https://github.com/ChewKeanHo/license-proprietary

----

Proposed SPDX identifier:
Recommended: **chewkeanho-Xos** (X is the type like c, gp, rl) since there
is a version control clause so the stewards can update the primary license
without backfiring the older versions.
If version locked is required: **chewkeanho-Xos-5-and-above** (where
version 5 is reserved and shall includes the feedback from OSI)

Supported languages: English

Available file formats: (1) PDF - for legal folks; AND (2) RTF - for
Microsoft MSI packager; (3) TXT - for Unix packager (e.g. debian package)

Source redundancies: (1) Zenodo - in the EU that issued the common DOI; AND
(2) GitHub, in the US.

----

Feedbacks & amendments are welcome. Version 4 is reserved for OSI feedback
and improvement for externals.

Site-note: if possible, please let me issue PDF for each iteration. the
TXT requires manual formatting (to make it human readable friendly) which
is very time consuming. If possible, I would like the TXT formatting to be
done only after finalization.

Thank you for your time.
