[License-review] [License Review] Project Tick General Public License v1.0

[M.samet Duman]

Hello Pamela,

Yes, I am withdrawing this draft from formal review.

The text discussed was an early draft, and I will resubmit only after Version 2 is finalized and formally published.

Thank you for the clarification.

Best regards,

However, I fully agree that the correct approach would have been to wait for the text to be finalized or to explicitly label it as a draft in the initial submission.
