Richard, thank you very much for sending this feedback, and thanks to everyone for spending their time and energy on the review.

If the license will be approved with the modification, we will revise it to make the change described below.  Please confirm I have revised it in accordance with the request, as there are some non-substantive variations between our Section 4 and the corresponding one in MPL 2.0.  I gather that, as a matter of process, OSI would approve subject to us making the modification, and then we release the modification under a new revision number.  If not, please let us know.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statue or Regulation
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to statute, judicial order, [ADD: OR] regulation, [DELETE: NATIONAL SECURITY, OR NECESSITY OF PUBLIC INTEREST,] then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be included in the notices required under Section 3.4. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

Heather

Hi,

Given the concerns expressed here about the OSET Public License
privileging one class of licensees, we ask that the OSET Foundation
revise the OSET Public License to revert section 4 to the
corresponding ancestral version of that section in MPL 2.0.

Richard
