[License-review] For Approval: Rewrite of License Zero Reciprocal Public License

[Bruce Perens]

Acquiring an active user community for your proposed license is helpful
because bad ideas can be expected to die on the vine there without
acquiring a user community, and we won't have to consider them. Also,
because such a community generates practical use cases which can be cited
rather than theoretical ones. Theoretical licenses burden the folks on this
list with work that may not have any practical outcome. OSI might
practically refuse to consider licenses with no user community simply to
keep the workload for approval manageable.

I'm not saying that L0-R would be approved if it had an active user
community. It still has obvious reasons for denial in its language as
presently proposed.
