If we are taking votes on this topic, let me concur that after careful 
consideration -- and even speaking out that maybe a second list was 
necessary -- I'd have to conclude that I agree with Brian completely. 
Perhaps this is just a matter that potential licensees need to be exposed 
to as well -- that a certain indoctrination by learning and being 
well-versed in the philosophies behind (Open Source|Free Software) is part 
of the process of crafting an Open Source license.
