That's like saying he won't have a cryptographer look at his new 
encryption function, preferring community review. It's basically the 
legal version of being anti-vax because you read a lot of blogs that 
agree with each other.

If the license ever needs to be enforced, it will be in front of a 
judge, and there will be opposing counsel. If you didn't have somebody 
who knows what this domain's version of a "fool's mate" looks like plug 
the obvious holes...

Domain expertise exists, _especially_ in highly formalized settings 
where you can lose a fencing match because you didn't understand "right 
of way".
