[License-review] For Approval: Master-Console's Open-Source Definitive License(MCopdl)

[Wayne A Rangel]

This license does not include stating sources like tcl that are licensed
with BSD like license to be within or followed with this, We showed an
example site and we are not talking about AndroWish(we are
talking in General) which could not be different from what you talk about.
Yes, you are right, accessible from fossil, but not accessible from within
web, within a normal static browser(transcripted use), it does not
necessarily mean its should be in a repository or in a page. It should be
accessible as raw data(can be in any interface and doesn't mean anyone can
come and edit the raw data but should be accessible). And thanks for
figuring out the grammatical errors. We will fix it soon.
