+1 to Josh on that.

On other/tangential issues:

I do appreciate the name change of the license; it addresses my "open
logistics is a generic term, but the license doesn't seem to have any terms
specifically relating logistics work" concern pretty well.  It's reasonably
clear now that this is just a license published by a single organization,
and not a license seeking to generally address an entire subject area.

I don't think I see any of the other comments that I made being addressed,
but I suspect they might be best addressed anyway in the FAQ/explanation
that Josh is asking for above.  But, absent that explanation, this really
does still look like a vanity license to me at the moment.
