<p>Dear Nadia,</p>
<p>As previously mentioned, can you send a copy of the license as a
.txt file? This is a requirement for submitting a license,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opensource.org/licenses/review-process">https://opensource.org/licenses/review-process</a> ("Submit a copy of
the license as an attachment in simple text format.") I cannot
copy/paste from the website because of the potential loss of
fidelity to the original. <br>
</p>
<p>We cannot process the submission without a copy of the license as
an attached document.<br>

family (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

Previously, the Mulan PSL v2 under the Mulan Open Source

builds upon Mulan PSL v2 by adding copyleft provisions,
restricting distribution conditions for emerging
technologies like SaaS.</p>
