[License-review] Request for Approval of Universal Permissive License (UPL)

[Jim Wright]

Specific pass-through license requirements or scope limitations like not being able to remove conditions of the inbound license don't necessarily mean you are required to license outbound under identical terms.  You can offer another license for the code, and are not required to offer a license under the UPL yourself, it's just that the terms you choose may not, e.g., remove the notice condition imposed by the original authors.  So it's "or".

Best,
Jim
