Not sure about that; this list is noisy enough that I think most of us<br>
hold back if we agree with an already-stated viewpoint. If you really<br>
want to get a straw poll of agreement, it would be far better to have a<br>
tool that let us vote up/down critiques of proposed licenses than wait<br>
for "me, too" posts on a mailing list.</blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I suppose there is a point in having a straw poll of <i>agreement.</i> But I think license approval <i>shouldn't be based upon a popular vote,</i> but on whether the license preserves software freedom and meets the OSD. And I would add, is a good deal for the developer and user community. Some of the recent submissions seemed to me to to be hostile to the developer or user community.</div><div><br></div><div> Thanks</div><div><br></div><div> Bruce</div></div></div>
