Thank you Bradley, I sincerely appreciate your words of appreciation
(now we can stop iterating appreciations, lest we end up in a loop) ;-)

HST, your is a long message with many statements and replying to them
would digress too much; I would like for the time being to remain
focused on the very subject of the submission and the reasons for its
dismissal. So I will keep it short.

By way of further clarification, my second POSTING
(<d11ab657-c825-a551-64a8-29e0f0cf23c5 at piana.eu>) is entirely of
personal nature and reflects my fear that my direct language may offend
someone, not necessarily the ones in this particular thread, and it is
not a suggestion to implement a policy of withholding rash comments.

The second part is just thinking aloud on the rough and incomplete idea
that some sort of detaching from the author(s) of the license or from
its proponent could be in general necessary. By way of example, I am
personally a big fan of most of W3C work, and I assume others are, so we
could have been giving too much slack in letting a patent-carving
license pass /because/ of context, creating a dangerous precedent even
for a special purpose license (thus some relevance here).

You conversely make some interesting points comparing license review to
legislative process, which would lead to entirely different conclusions,
point entirely taken.

Best

Carlo
