Dear License Review,<br>
<br>
Below is the recommendation of the License Committee to the Board on
the Vaccine License.<br>
<br>
Bet regards,<br>
<br>
Pamela Chestek<br>
Chair, License Review Committee<br>
Open Source Initiative<br>
<br>
License: The Vaccine License (Exhibit A)<br>
Submitted: October 29, 2019,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2019-October/004420.html">http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2019-October/004420.html</a>
<br>
Decision date: due no later than the first Board meeting after
December 29, 2019<br>
<br>
License Review Committee Recommendation: <br>
<br>
Resolved that it is the opinion of the OSI that the Vaccine License
does not conform to the OSD and assure software freedom and the
license is therefore not approved. <br>
<br>
Rationale Document<br>
<br>
Reasons for withholding approval: The Vaccine License does not
comply with OSD §5 (No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups). No
one who participated in the license-review process expressed the
opinion that this license should be approved and all who voiced an
opinion on approval stated that it was their view the license should
not be approved. <br>
<br>
The license submitter countered an anticipated refusal under OSD §5
with the argument “Since any person or group, without exception, may
receive a vaccine which is medically appropriate for them, the
Vaccine License does not discriminate against any person or group.
So-called ‘anti-vaxxers’ identify themselves by their misguided
rejection of vaccines, but such rejection is an action rather than
membership in a group.”
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2019-October/004420.html">http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2019-October/004420.html</a>
<br>
<br>
This argument is rejected. The license expressly discriminates
against those who have not had vaccines. The fact that one could
voluntarily join a group that the license does not discriminate
against does not alter the fact that the license discriminates
against those who choose not to join the group.<br>
<br>
Withholding approval of this license, or any license, should not be
construed as disagreement with the intentions or goals of the
license. <br>
<br>
Exhibit A<br>
<br>
The Vaccine License<br>

Version 1.0, October 2019<br>

<br>
PRELUDE<br>
<br>
Open Source developers should work for good, not evil. The misguided
rejection of vaccination is one of the greatest evils that has ever
existed. The Vaccine License is a software license that requires
that users vaccinate their children, and themselves, and that user
businesses make a similar requirement of their employees, to the
greatest extent legally possible.<br>
<br>
The Vaccine License is derivative of the text of the Apache License,
but with significantly modified language and very different effect.
The license is reciprocal, and the grant of copyright and patent
license rights only applies so long as the user complies with local
vaccination recommendations.<br>
<br>

conversions to other media types.<br>
<br>
“Work” shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work (an
example is provided in the Appendix below).<br>
<br>
“Derivative Works” shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other

to the interfaces of, the Work and Derivative Works thereof.<br>
<br>
“Contribution” shall mean any work of authorship, including the

<br>
“Vaccination” shall mean the administration of vaccine to a patient.<br>
<br>
“Local Vaccination Authority” shall mean a government agency tasked
with guiding the control of disease by recommending vaccination of

<br>
“Local Vaccination Recommendations” shall mean recommendations
published by the Local Vaccination Authority which recommend
vaccines which should be administered to certain persons, on the

and Prevention.<br>
<br>
“Complying Person” shall mean a natural person who, to the extent
that they are able to do so, under the direction and care of a
Medical Doctor, elects to have administered to themselves and to all
legal minors to whom they are parent or guardian all vaccines
recommended by their Local Vaccination Recommendations which are
appropriate for the patient’s medical condition. This requirement is
waived only to the extent that it is not reasonably possible, for

Entity exercising permissions granted by this License.<br>
<br>

this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a worldwide,
non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, patent license to make, have

Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was
submitted, so long as You remain a Complying Person or Complying
Legal Entity.<br>
<br>
If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or
a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or
contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted
to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the
date such litigation is filed.<br>
<br>

places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the
Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if
provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display
generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party
notices normally appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for
informational purposes only and do not modify the License. You may
add Your own attribution notices within Derivative Works that You
distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the
Work, provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be
construed as modifying the License.<br>
<br>
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications.<br>
<br>
5. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the
trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the

NOTICE file.<br>
<br>
6. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or

negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other
commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor has been
advised of the possibility of such damages.<br>
<br>
8. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer, and
charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or
other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on
Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of
any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, defend,
and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or
claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason of your
accepting any such warranty or additional liability.<br>
