Hi Wayne,<br>
<br>
Under "Rationale," can you explain what about this license is suited
for your business model when other existing licenses aren't? What
does it accomplish that no other license does?<br>
<br>
Can you tell us how it differs from the APSL?<br>
<br>
Why is the license category "non-reusable"? That's not a category we
are inclined to use for a new license. One of the value of the
licenses is that they are reusable, so it would be helpful to
understand why your license isn't designed for others to use yet is
covers a situation that no other license covers.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
