[Luis Villa]

Hi, Nikolos-
Thanks for reaching out to us. Besides the commentary that has already been
offered, please note that our process requires:

   - *Legal review:* Describe any legal review the license has been
   through, and provide results of any legal analysis if available
   - *Proliferation category:* Recommend which license proliferation
   category <http://opensource.org/proliferation-report> is appropriate

As described here:

http://opensource.org/approval

Thanks-

Luis
