[License-review] Fwd: [Non-DoD Source] Resolution on NOSA 2.0

[Bruce Perens]

 *A work is original if it is independently created by You, as opposed to
copied from other works, and it possesses at least some minimal degree of
creativity. *

On re-reading, I guess that you define this because you are still asking
for contributions to be original works of authorship (not considering the
language regarding "authorized").

The entire issue on incorporation of works that are not original to the
contributor still stands. You might be trying to allow that by defining
separable modules, but that is unlikely to hold up in practice as Open
Source developers may not maintain the pieces as separate.

    Thanks
