<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear License Review Team,</div><div>Due to the recommendations in this thread, I am withdrawing the license from the current consideration for approval. I intend to take the list of questions I've asked in the discussion here and raise them with lawyers external to the OSI team. Now that I properly understand the discuss list, I'll submit the license there once a lawyer suggests the license has reached a state that it would have a reasonable chance of being enforceable.</div><div><br></div><div>-Alex<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 7:00 AM <<a href="mailto:license-review-request@lists.opensource.org">license-review-request@lists.opensource.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Send License-review mailing list submissions to<br>

<br>
Yes, please. I believe someone else suggested this earlier in the <br>
conversation.<br>
<br>
However, before doing moving the conversation to license-discuss, I <br>
advise you take the recommendation of several list members and consult a <br>
lawyer experienced in license drafting to have them review and rework <br>
the document first. The members of license-discuss are unlikely to be <br>
happy with playing the role of the lawyer you should be consulting <br>
instead. ;-)<br>
<br>
If you need recommendations for such lawyers, I suggest you ask that on <br>
license-discuss as well.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>

I believe your license is far from sufficiently developed to be suitable <br>
for review and approval. I again strongly recommend that you withdraw it <br>
from consideration on license-review and engage a lawyer who can give <br>
you guidance. It is your choice whether you want to see if others are <br>
willing to continue the discussion on the license-discuss list.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
