I didn't say it was selfish. I said the license does not conform with
the open source community. Questions of whether something is "selfish"
are a little beyond the scope of this list.

Sarcasm, or..?

What does it solve that the Attribution Assurance license doesn't?

I guess my last email *was* a little too snappy. Your effort is actually
much appreciated and I should have had a little consideration before
flaming. My point still mostly stands; the license doesn't conform to
the OSD. With one minor change it would (and be compatible with the GPL,
which would make it useful to a lot more people).
