[License-review] [CAVO] OSET Foundation

[Brent Turner]

Here's  a few initial questions that come to mind-

1.  Why did OSET  stay separated from the open source community  rather
than take part in the community discussion among pioneers ?   Numerous
efforts have been made to include OSET to no avail..   with the only
apparent OSET community actions search engine maximization and a vendor
style disinformation campaign .

2. Where is  the " list of gov't people " craving OSET's new license ?  Can
we get a copy ?

3. *What is it OSET  doesn't  like about GPLv3 for election software?*
Please answer specifically.

Best-

Brent
