[License-review] Request for Approval of Universal Permissive License (UPL)

[Josh Berkus]

Jim,

On the whole, I like the idea of having a permissive license with a patent
grant. However, speaking from the developer perspective, I have
questions about how the license is actually expected to work:

> (a) the Software, and (b) any piece of software and/or hardware
> listed in the LARGER_WORKS.TXT file included with the Software (each
> a “Larger Work” to which the Software is contributed by such
> licensors),

- Who writes the LARGER_WORKS.TXT file?
- What if a downstream fork modifies that file?
- Can you give examples of what would go in such a file?
- What if a downstream distributor fails to include the LARGER_WORKS.TXT
file with the software?


Thanks!
