[License-review] Approval Request - ViraTrace Public Source License 1.0

[Pamela Chestek]

Hi Wayne,

Under "Rationale," can you explain what about this license is suited for 
your business model when other existing licenses aren't? What does it 
accomplish that no other license does?

Can you tell us how it differs from the APSL?

Why is the license category "non-reusable"? That's not a category we are 
inclined to use for a new license. One of the value of the licenses is 
that they are reusable, so it would be helpful to understand why your 
license isn't designed for others to use yet is covers a situation that 
no other license covers.

Thanks,

Pamela Chestek
