Dear Andrew,<br>
<br>
If you intend to submit a revised version, it would be considerate
of you to withdraw this one, to save everyone the time and energy
that goes into reviewing it. It does not appear that anyone supports
this version of the license, so the chances of it being approved
appear quite slim.<br>

<div dir="auto">Hello. In regards to the Amish, many of them have
computers and do IT. They just have restrictive limits and rules
on tech, and as you said they decide what is ethical. Many
people can be like so and so political parties said this, or
China does this or this religious group does this therefore it
is a restriction. However, with that mentality lots of people
believe that open source shouldn't exist and software should
only be commercial. One can argue that open source restricts
them. Keep in mind also nobody is being enforced to use the
license and the non-binding clause states at good will. Not
everybody's good will and sense of moral obligation is the same,
therefore it is impossible for this to be centralized or me to
be some authoritarian on ethics.

<div dir="auto">In regards to me counter claiming things or

<div dir="auto">As for many of your points. I feel like it is
less to do w/ the mission statement and what it says and
rather the complexity and where it is inserted. Perhaps if
these words were more common in the future, the OSI may be
comfortable with the text in full.</div>

<div dir="auto">I am considering a possible version 2 revision

decide to do so it wouldn't be that I don't believe in my

mind previously.</div>
