[License-review] For approval: The Cryptographic Autonomy License (Beta 2)

[Bruce Perens]

OK, I feel the need to push back, Mr. Moderator.

Just how are we to carry out one of the first days of evaluation of a new
version of a complicated license submission, with many differing opinions
and points discussed, when we are asked to restrict ourselves to so few
messages that the discussion won't be interactive? We can, and I fear that
OSI is constructing a means for us to, conduct ourselves as if we were
preschool kids at "parallel play". This does not seem to be a particularly
effective means of communication.

AND having restricted ourselves to two or three messages, you want
one-liners? Let me assure you a lot of thought goes into participation on
the list, and I am bothered that this is characterized as "shooting from
the hip".

I am pretty sure that all people here know that I am not on the OSI board,
and if I make an observation regarding what OSI does or has done, it's an
observation, not a Papal Bull.

And I'm sorry for my obviously censurious reply to Van, but in my defense,
I don't wish to see rhetorical tactics like "you're alone in your opinion"
distract from the policy discussion.

    Thanks

    Bruce
