Dear Nadia Jiang,<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, we much have the complete, correct version to be
approved as one document. It is too confusing and the recordkeeping
too difficult to have multiple documents that are supposed to
represent a single license. I note also that you did not provide a
certified translation, just a redline comparison. When you update
the license, please also provide a certification of the translation.<br>
<br>
I note that I received several reports that the original Mulan PSL
license was changed after it was approved by the OSI and the version
on your website that you claim was OSI-approved was not. That is one
reason we much have in our records the exact version of what is to
be approved, so others will have an immutable source of truth about
the actual license text that was approved.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

<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>
