There is a separate list for license proliferation discussions

[Alex Bligh]

I'd tend to agree with Larry - license-discuss is the right place for now
for the reasons he said, but also because proliferation arguments are
contained in 90% of the messages re approving or not-approving new licenses
(which is meant to be on license-discuss). If it was the case that
proliferation was an orthogonal issue to approval, I would agree with Laura
- but it isn't, at least in the mind of one prominent OSI board member.
Thus whilst approvals are impacted, here is the right place.
