<p>A few comments on this submission:</p>
<p>1. The name "Milenium" is spelled inconsistently throughout the
license. If the license is going to use an incorrect spelling for
the title of this license, it ought to at least be consistent.</p>
<p>2. As Kevin Fleming previously pointed out, this submission has
not followed the process of answering the questions about this
license, and this re-submission has not corrected that: </p>

class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://opensource.org/licenses/review-process</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
3. The License Grant section is very oddly worded, as the
statements after the term "granted" are not grants, and the
purported grants precede the "grant." If you're going to draft
something based on MIT, you really ought to follow the way MIT
formulates, e.g., the grant.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4. "Publicly accessible" is undefined.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5. the "Registered License Restriction" clause is confusingly
written (as is the use of the word "Registered") as it seems to
indicate that "the same freedoms" are closed-source. Also, what is
meant by "accessible" in this clause is undefined, and likely
violates Freedom Zero (which *I* personally believe is inherent in
the OSD). Same problem is in Sec 7.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>6. Generally, is license is poorly written and has many
ambiguities. Which is why answering all questions required by the
approval process is needed.</div>
