<p class="MsoNormal">It is clear that you have a lot of passion for topics around software licensing, which I certainly won't disagree with. However, it is very difficult to identify your specific points.

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This particular list is for discussion of particular licenses being proposed or evaluated for acceptance by the OSI. You are including long quotes from various decisions, but they are unmoored from a specific license text. This results
in a lot of noise on the list, and distracts from its primary purpose.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'd request that you address your comments more specifically to license texts that are under discussion, as opposed to the theory of software licensing generally. This would result in your contributions being much more helpful in the overall
debate.<o:p></o:p></p>
