[License-review] use restrictions and patent royalties

[Bruce Perens]

If OSI ever wanted to permit use restrictions, it would open the door to
licenses that specified patent royalties. Now, sarcastically, I could say
that they are a big and influential community, and we should make room for
them in our tent. Practically, though, it would kill Open Source.
