There's been a huge amount of discussion of this license, some of it
prompted by the name.  Now that that has been changed, if there are
any remaining objections, please post them under this thread.  My
understanding is that the only remaining objections are:

1) it's Yet Another License (but any license approval has that
objection).

2) it's Microsoft (at what point does Microsoft overcome its history?
To which Chris DiBona and Eric Raymond say "when it stops making that
history.").
