[License-review] Svoboda for Approval

[Russ Nelson]

By the way, the OSI board has abolished the position of Board
Observer, so I'm now an ordinary mortal! Huzzah! Long live the mortal!

It's only not OSI approved because it doesn't do what it can't do, and
what people think it should do -- solve the problem of patents.

It's only too long because that's what is needed to reliably disclaim
copyright world-wide ... and failing that, it's a license that comes
as close as possible to public domain.

If the Creative Commons thought "This work has no copyright" was
sufficient, they would have used it, no?
