[License-review] Fwd: [Non-DoD Source] Resolution on NOSA 2.0

[Simon Phipps]

Bruce:  Thanks for all the time you have invested in this.

Bryan:  I concur with Bruce and also hope you'll take the comments on
textual complexity into account. I would suggest that in addition to
attorneys you retain an expert in open source community matters from
outside NASA (in fact from outside US government circles generally) to
assist with review. I am sure members of this list can make recommendations
if you need them.

Best regards

Simon
