[License-review] Resubmission of the European Space Agency Public Licenses (ESA-PL) for approval

[Pamela Chestek]

It was brought to my attention that the ESA Public Licenses, as 
submitted here: 
http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2018-March/003337.html, 
were never acted upon by the OSI. I extend the OSI's apologies for the 
lapse.

I have reviewed the threads and have a few questions about the licenses. 
There are separate threads for the three licenses and I'll raise my 
questions there.

Best regards,

Pamela Chestek

Chair, Licensing Committee
