    Hi Minghui,<br>

    <br>

    Thank you for the clarification. It does appear that the OSI website

    does not have the last version of the license. We'll get it

    corrected.<br>

    <br>

    It does, though, confirm that my insistence on the formalities of

    submission be followed! The confusion was because the license

    changed several times during the approval process. That's why I

    don't want to have a license that changes during the process without

    a clear withdrawal and resubmission.<br>

      <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"

          moz-do-not-send="true">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>

        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>

                        <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>

                          <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>*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>
