[License-review] A request for checking the review status of Mulan OWLs v1

[Pamela Chestek]

The context of the question is whether to approve the submitted Mulan 
OWL licenses, so the discussion needs to be on license-review. It's 
specifically whether we should approve these licenses. The only issues 
that anyone mentioned were that they were content licenses (and I raised 
the patent issue).
