[License-review] New License for Consideration - Public Benefit Zero Copyright License v. 2.0

[Wayne Thornton]

Good afternoon all,

I was reviewing my submissions and realized I never officially rescinded my submission for the Public Benefit Zero Copyright License v. 2.0 for consideration. I had intended to, and got busy with other tasks. Please consider this my official recission.

Thank you.

Leaving aside the legal impossibility of what you want*, License-Review is not a place to "develop new paradigms", it's a place to review & approve nearly-ready license drafts.

If you wanna hash out what kinds of things could be theoretically put in a public domain "license", that's better placed in license-discuss.
