Submitted: October 29, 2019, <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" moz-do-not-send="true">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>

<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>

DISTRIBUTION<br>
<br>
1. Definitions.<br>

form, including but not limited to compiled object
code, generated documentation, and 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
modifications represent, as a whole, an original
work of authorship. For the purposes of this
License, Derivative Works 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>
“Contribution” shall mean any work of authorship,

<br>
“Vaccine” shall mean a biological preparation that
provides active acquired immunity to a particular

administered under the supervision of a Medical
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 Doctors. In the

Control And Prevention, or any successor agency to
that one which is given the same task.<br>
<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 basis of

United States Centers for Disease 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

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 its locality, requires
its employees to be Complying Persons. This
requirement is waived only to the extent that the
government where it is applied would prohibit its
application.<br>

“You” (or “Your“) shall mean a Complying Person or
Complying Legal 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 worldwide, non-exclusive,

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

transfer the Work, where such license applies only
to those patent claims licensable by such
Contributor that are necessarily 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

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 Licensor,

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>
