Dear Josh,
That's wonderful! Thanks a lot for the clarification. We would love
that, which really reduces possible risks in the future.
How should I proceed here (sorry I'm clumsy on this)? Should I modify
the original license, e.g., adding this statement in the license, and
submit again?
BTW, Carlo, I'm glad you love the name of the license. Yes, Mulan is
such a beautiful name, how could anyone resist it?
Best, Minghui
