License Zero was not actually rejected. I know there is a
currently-popular viewpoint that hostile reception to a license on
license-review, resulting ultimately in withdrawal from the process,
is tantamount to OSI rejecting a license, but I don't agree.

I do think that significant past "hostile receptions" have been and
should be treated as having some significance ("precedential" may not
be the right concept).
