[License-discuss] Discussion on new revision of Master-Console's Open Source Definitive License(MCopdl)

[Wayne A Rangel]

Thank you so much for checking in the revised license. However, it still

-(In the above quote, "implies to" is also not valid English, and I'm not
completely sure whether you meant "refers to", or "implies", with no
preposition.)

implies but referring to as a whole.
