I think with the rewrite that you've accomplished this beautifully, and I
found your initial draft and manifesto confusing and grating respectively.
Whatever their objectives, future license drafters are taking notes, I
hope. Well done.

It's OSD conformant, and if it's not, the OSD could use some clarification.
I doubt OSI approval is really all that important for the success of LZ
though -- approval or not, surely this license will join AGPL on lists like
https://opensource.google.com/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#banned approval --
which presumably is taken into account in your theory of how to maximize
dual-licensing opportunity.
