The conditions having nothing to do with software is debatable. There are
examples like the JSON License <https://www.json.org/license.html> (The
Software shall be used for Good, not Evil), the Hippocratic License
<https://firstdonoharm.dev/> (probably not OSI-compliant, but in the same
ethical vein).
By the License Review Process, is lawyer consultancy obligatory or just the
mentioning of it?
