[License-discuss] [DISCUSS] PUWL v1.0 – P-EADCA Universal Waiver License

[Pamela Chestek]

How can you both "*/irrevocably /*releases it for unrestricted worldwide 
use by anyone, for any purpose" and also "terminate automatically" 
against "any party that initiates or threatens patent litigation"?

This is a license, not a dedication to the public domain.
