<div>Thank you for your honest feedback. It's accurate to say so.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I should have made it clear from the outset that the text
under discussion was a draft and that a revised version was
already planned for publication. It was my mistake not to state
this from the beginning, and I understand how frustrating that
can be in a review context.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The aim was not to waste reviewers' time, but to verify that
the direction of the changes was consistent with the Open Source
Definition before publication. However, I fully agree that the
correct approach would have been to wait for the text to be
finalized or to explicitly label it as a draft in the initial
submission.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nevertheless, thank you for your time and attention, and I
will be more careful about timing and framing in future
submissions.</div>

<div>Sincerely,</div>

<div>I wanted to clarify that the license version you
reviewed is an earlier draft. The revised Version 2 of
the Project Tick General Public License will be
released on February 2, 2026, and will explicitly
address the concerns you raised.</div>

<div>Since you didn't mention this in your submission,
you've now asked people in this group to review a
license which you plan to replace in less than two
weeks. This will not make you any friends in the review
group, to say the least.</div>
