[License-review] Hooyami License Version 1.0 for Approval

[Carlo Piana]

Hi,

I don't mean to be rude, but the rationale for this license seems quite
far fetched. Have you consulted an open source legal professional,
before submitting, or are yourself one? Your statement that, using
similar (hundreds of them) licenses, people are not able to do what open
source is supposed to do is puzzling at best, but it is entirely
possible that I have misunderstood you.

I also note that you have inserted an explicit patent license with
capitalized terms like "Contributor" or "You", but those terms are not
defined elsewhere. It looks like it has been cut and pasted from another
license (Apache).

I don't see this license being obviously contrary to the OSD, but at a
cursory reading it fails some minimal quality acceptance criteria.
Moreover, it presents no non-proliferation rationale. 

As such, my humble opinion is that for the time being it shall be
disapproved.

With best regards,

Carlo Piana
