3. <u>A <span class="gmail-il">license</span> that
requires data portability</u>. <br>
Section 2.3(b) obliges the user of a software to “provide to
any third party with which you have an enforceable legal
agreement, a no-charge copy … of the User Data in your
possession in which that third party has a Lawful Interest
….” The <span class="gmail-il">license</span> submitter
confirmed in this sequence of emails that the intent of this
provision is to expand the scope of software freedom: <br>

The members of the <span class="gmail-il">License</span> Review
Committee do not agree whether this is appropriate for an
open source <span class="gmail-il">license</span>. It
therefore requires extensive additional public discussion
before the OSI will be able to reach a conclusion on this
point.<br>

<div>It's my opinion that this is out of scope for an Open Source <span
class="gmail-il">license</span>. My argument is on the record
above and I'm glad to elaborate. I think Arthur (Van's customer)
could explain what he wants to do with this and why he thinks
it's important. But even if I end up approving of the sentiment,
so far I think it would remain out of scope for an OSI approved
Open Source <span class="gmail-il">license</span>. Of course,
you don't need OSI's approval to use any <span class="gmail-il">license</span> you
wish.</div>
