[License-review] Resubmission of the European Space Agency Public Licenses (ESA-PL) for approval

[Bruce Perens]

Hi Carsten,

I've reviewed the ESA licenses about 10 days ago. Patrice also had a
question. You haven't engaged either of us. It seems to me that most of the
issues I saw worked to ESA's disadvantage rather than everyone else's. For
example, 7.1 and 7.2 essentially negate themseves except for the rare case
that there is already a court ruling determining infringement, and ESA says
"You should acquire the respective rights or modify the Software so that
the Modification is non-infringing" which in my country really only should
come from one's own lawyer.

Do you wish to respond to any of the comments, or should we make
recommendations on the basis of the license text as it stands?

    Thanks

    Bruce Perens
