<p>Dear Pamela,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I just wanted to clarify one thing. The original Mulan PSL
license (version 2) was not changed at all after it was approved
by the OSI. You may compare the original version approved by OSI
board and the version at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://license.coscl.org.cn/MulanPSL2">https://license.coscl.org.cn/MulanPSL2</a>.
I'm the maintainer of Mulan PSL license (also the author).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Please note that the mulan PubL license currently under approval
process is different from the Mulan PSL license. It is a GPL
alike license while mulan PSL is a Apache alike license.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'll leave Miss Nadia to tend to the rest of the matter.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best, Minghui<br>
</p>

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>

<div>I hope you are doing well.</div>
<div><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>
