For Approval: Transitive Grace Period Public Licence, v1.0

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Christopher Schmidt (crschmidt at metacarta.com):

I was _going_ to say:

You would be making a grave mistake if you think that trying to call
something with even _arguable_ OSD-compliance problems "open source" is
in the interest of you or your firm.  I strongly suggest you not commit
that error, if you don't wish to have a severe and ongoing public
relations problem.
 
...and then I realised that this is a classic case of "let's you and him
fight"; you're speaking of Zooko's licence, not yours, and you don't
speak for him.  I'm pretty sure Zooko's been around long enough to avoid
that error.
