For that matter, as a member of this committee, if there are criteria
other than the below for evaluating licenses, I would like to know about
them:

1. Is legally valid/rigorous

2. Complies with OSD

3. Is significantly different from existing licenses

4. Has a substantiated use case

Those are all of the criteria that I'm aware of.  So if there are others
I should be examining, please let me know.
