This is a private Google Docs link, which is not accessible to us.  If
you expect us to evaluate the license, please attach it to email as a
text file.  Thanks.

Do you have approved English versions of your documents?  While we can
use translation tools, we've found that they aren't adequate for licensing.

More questions:

1. What other licenses did you consider, and why were they found not to
be adequate?

2. Is this license already in use for a project?  If so, what?  If not,
what project(s) are you planning to use it for?
