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

[Simon Phipps]

I clearly indicated we're aiming for a light touch rather than legalism -
those were all guidelines for individuals rather than strict rules.

All the same, posting twelve times within a few hours is OTT no matter how
you look at it. Why not take a break until tomorrow? If you feel you have
to reply please do so privately - thanks.
