Dear License Review,<br>
<br>
Below is the recommendation of the License Committee to the Board
on the Vaccine License.<br>
<br>

License: The Vaccine License (Exhibit A)<br>
Submitted: October 29, 2019,
<a href="http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2019-October/004420.html" target="_blank">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 href="http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2019-October/004420.html" target="_blank">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>
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION<br>
<br>
1. Definitions.<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

shall not include works that remain separable from, or merely link
(or bind by name) to the interfaces of, the Work and Derivative
Works thereof.<br>
<br>

original version of the Work and any modifications or additions to
that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright
owner or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on

definition, “submitted” means any form of electronic, verbal, or
written communication sent to the Licensor or its representatives,
including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing

Doctor.<br>
<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 persons, which enacts the advice of Medical

<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

Control 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 example if the person can not afford the vaccine, does not
have access to it, or can not make the vaccine decision without
the consent of another party which will not agree.<br>
<br>
“Complying Legal Entity” shall mean a Legal Entity other than a
natural person that, to the greatest extent legally possible in

Entity exercising permissions granted by this License.<br>
<br>
2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a

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

infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination of
their 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>
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

the following 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

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>
