ESA Public Licenses, as submitted here:

were never acted upon by the OSI. I extend the OSI's apologies for
the lapse.<br>
<br>
I have reviewed the threads and have a few questions about the
licenses. There are separate threads for the three licenses and
I'll raise my questions there.<br>

<div>Hi Carsten,<br>
<br>
</div>
I've reviewed the ESA licenses about 10 days ago. Patrice
also had a question. You haven't engaged either of us. It
seems to me that most of the issues I saw worked to ESA's
disadvantage rather than everyone else's. For example, 7.1
and 7.2 essentially negate themseves except for the rare
case that there is already a court ruling determining
infringement, and ESA says "You should acquire the
respective rights or modify the Software so that the
Modification is non-infringing" which in my country really
only should come from one's own lawyer.<br>
<br>

Do you wish to respond to any of the comments, or should we
make recommendations on the basis of the license text as it
stands?<br>
<br>

Thanks<br>
