<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
I don't mean to be rude, but the rationale for this license seems quite far fetched. Have you consulted an open source legal professional, before submitting, or are yourself one? Your statement that, using similar (hundreds of them) licenses, people are not
able to do what open source is supposed to do is puzzling at best, but it is entirely possible that I have misunderstood you.<br>
<br>
I also note that you have inserted an explicit patent license with capitalized terms like "Contributor" or "You", but those terms are not defined elsewhere. It looks like it has been cut and pasted from another license (Apache).<br>
<br>
I don't see this license being obviously contrary to the OSD, but at a cursory reading it fails some minimal quality acceptance criteria. Moreover, it presents no non-proliferation rationale.
<br>
<br>
As such, my humble opinion is that for the time being it shall be disapproved.<br>
<br>
With best regards,<br>
<br>
Carlo Piana<br>

to abuse it by copying the source code and binary form and putting it in other open source project and changing the license when there are not the original contributor or author. The effect is most open source project cannot use that source code and binary
form for their own purpose which is the main reason of open source. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
