<p>Others - to aid Nadia, are there others that have comments or
criticism of this license? Since I am asking that the license be
resubmitted, It would be helpful to provide those comments now
rather than after they have resubmitted the license.</p>

<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>I just wanted to clarify one thing. The original

after it was approved by the OSI. You may compare the

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>
<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>
