Technically, the Foundation, not the Corporation. (It actually
matters, since the Foundation is the entity empowered to release new
versions.)

I won't repost that entire post here, but suffice to say that it
summarizes the changes in the license, gives many thanks (because many
are owed!) and has helpful pointers to other sources of information,
including FAQs.

Woot :) We're very pleased to have been able to announce a license
with both OSI and FSF approval at launch time.

Ditto on the thanks- we appreciate the feedback we got from members of
this list and from the OSI community more generally; I know it helped
make the license a better license; and particularly to Karl for being
so responsive and helpful late in the process and even over the
holidays.
