There is a separate list for license proliferation discussions

[Laura Majerus]

If y'all think this is the right place, I stand corrected. The reason we
made two lists was to try to keep traffic down for those people who
didn't want to read license proliferation messages, but if you all think
this discussion belongs here, go to it!

It would be nice if you cross-posted to the
license-proliferation-discuss list, but certainly not required.

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.
