Can I just say this is *completely* irrelevant to a license discussion?

1) Google has a license.

2) Google plans on submitting the license but isn't ready to do so yet,
but will soon.

3) We do not need to talk about the license right now; we can wait until
Google submits it or until we think there has been an unreasonable delay.

4) Ad hominem attacks on the openness of various companies, nonprofits,
individuals, and governments are completely irrelevant to this process,
and are more likely to cause reviewers to leave this list.

5) You do not talk about Fight Club. ;-)
