I also insist on brevity. The shorter the better. I prefer fewer words to more words. Especially words to politicos. They have short attention spans. Prolixity is bad. That's why my previous email was almost as short as this paragraph. :-)

 Yes, for reasons relating to reassurance that all derivative works will be acceptable for voting around the world. The "strength" and "popularity" of the GPLv3 make it a good license for universal voting software.

 But that doesn't mean that the GPLv3 must be the only open source license used for free software. 

 ALL OSI-approved licenses are open source. Other licenses are not.
