<div>Dear Pamela,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope you are doing well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Following your suggestions, we have engaged a specialized
translation agency to thoroughly review the English
translation of the Mulan Public License v2. The revised
translation is attached for your review. Should you and the
other reviewers have any additional questions or suggestions
regarding the English translation, please do not hesitate to
share them. We greatly appreciate your contributions to
achieving a more accurate English version of the Mulan
Public License.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Based on the revised translation, I believe the patent
licensing terms are now clearer. Article 2 of the agreement
stipulates that the patent license applies only to the
claims owned or controlled by the contributor which will be
infringed by its contribution alone, and does not extend to
claims which will not be infringed by the contribution
itself but will be infringed after modifications made by the
user to the contribution.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Furthermore, regarding the copyright license, I would
like to clarify that the issues you identified are also
present in the Chinese version and are not solely a result
of the English translation. Your concerns are valid;
copyright in both the United States and China encompasses
the right to publicly display and perform the work. The
approach you suggested (granting a license to all copyright
rights without enumerating them) indeed represents the best
practice at present. However, for the reasons outlined
below, we believe that maintaining the current copyright
licensing terms is a better choice for the Mulan Public
License.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Firstly, the current licensing terms are considered to
carry minimal risk concerning withholding some rights.
License to reproduce, use, modify, or distribute is framed
from the user perspective in utilizing open-source software,
covering various user operations on the software.
Additionally, the public display or performance you
mentioned can be interpreted as encompassed within either
use or distribution—for instance, displaying a segment of
open-source code at an event can be viewed as both use and
distribution. Furthermore, several other open-source
licenses employ same language, such as the ISC License and
Mulan Permissive Software License v2. Importantly, to date,
none of the licensors or licensees using licenses with
identical terms, including the Mulan Public License, has
raised concerns regarding incomplete licenses.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Secondly, considering the current status of the Mulan
Public License, modifying the copyright licensing terms to
appear more legally sound could potentially spark new
friction, negating the benefit of such improvements. The
Mulan Permissive Software License v2, which belongs to the
same Mulan family of licenses and was certified by OSI in
2020, adopts the same copyright licensing terms. The Mulan
Permissive and Mulan Public Licenses were collaboratively
drafted by the same group and released in succession, with
highly similar language tailored to meet the needs of
Chinese developers for Apache-2.0 and AGPL-3.0 style
licenses, respectively. Altering the copyright licensing
terms of the Mulan Public License to differ from those of
the Mulan Permissive may lead to significant confusion among
users of the Mulan family of licenses. Additionally, the
Mulan Public License has already been adopted by a lot of
projects, and publishing Version 3 to merely revise the
copyright licensing terms could create discrepancies in
understanding the differences between Versions 2 and 3,
because, as mentioned, the current Version 2 of the Mulan
Public License already provides users all the necessary
copyright license.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Above are our reflections on the matter. We welcome your
insights and those of the other reviewers. Thank you for
your attention and collaboration. Have a nice weekend ahead.</div>

<div style="position:relative;">
<p>Dear Minghui,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have briefly reviewed the English language version of
the license and the translation does not appear to be
professionally done. It is our policy to have certified
translations of licenses in foreign languages. This
license says that "IN THE CASE OF DIVERGENCE BETWEEN THE
CHINESE AND ENGLISH VERSIONS, THE CHINESE VERSION SHALL
PREVAIL," so we need to review an accurate translation
of the Chinese version of the license.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The English language version of the license is
problematic and I am hoping that it is a translation
issue, not a problem with the license in its original
language. One problem is that it does not grant all the
rights necessary in copyright. Specifically it states
the grant is "to reproduce, use, modify, or Distribute"
the software. However, under US law these are not all
the rights of the copyright author, which include the
right to publicly display and the right to publicly
perform.* Under US law this license would be construed
as withholding the rights of display and performance and
therefore would not be an open source license.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The patent grant is also quite confusing. It says
"where such patent license is only limited to the patent
claims owned or controlled by such Contributor now or in
future which will be necessarily infringed by its
Contribution alone, excluding of any patent claims
solely be infringed by your modification." "Only
limited" is odd phrasing in English and it's not clear
how the word "only" might be read. "Excluding of any
patent claims solely be infringed by your modification"
is grammatically incorrect and might be construed as
exactly the opposite of what you meant to say. That is,
this phrase could be read to say that the exclusion
modifies the non-grant, not that it is a further
clarification of the scope of the original grant - in
other words, the word "excluding" modifies the non-grant
so that it becomes a grant for later modifications.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Please therefore provide a certified translation of the
Chinese language version of the license so we can learn
whether the problems are just a function of an
unfaithful translation or there is a fundamental problem
with this version of the license.</p>
<p><br>
If the problem in the copyright grant is in the Chinese
language version too, please consider withdrawing the
license from review so that you can revise it and
resubmit it.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Pam<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>*Because licenses are now used internationally, a
better practice for open source licenses is to grant a
license to all copyright rights without enumerating
them, to ensure that the grant is complete in all
jurisdictions.<br>
