That's an interesting approach, a big hedging on the spirit of OSS, but 
allowable (in my individual opinion) as long as you don't explicitly 
deny patent rights.  When you have updated your text from other 
commentary, go ahead and submit it to license-review and we'll delve 
into the actual text.
