[License-review] License-review Digest, Vol 95, Issue 16

Dear License Review Team,
Due to the recommendations in this thread, I am withdrawing the license
from the current consideration for approval.  I intend to take the list of
questions I've asked in the discussion here and raise them with lawyers
external to the OSI team.  Now that I properly understand the discuss list,
I'll submit the license there once a lawyer suggests the license has
reached a state that it would have a reasonable chance of being enforceable.

-Alex
