I suppose there is a point in having a straw poll of *agreement.* But I
think license approval *shouldn't be based upon a popular vote,* but on
whether the license preserves software freedom and meets the OSD. And I
would add, is a good deal for the developer and user community. Some of the
recent submissions seemed to me to to be hostile to the developer or user
community.

    Thanks
