Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your submission. I've been following the discussion and now
seems like a good time for me to jump in.

Given the discussion here suggests we're a long way from consensus, you may
find the License Discuss list to be a more appropriate forum.

The License Review process is highly time consuming and relies on the
generosity of volunteers from the community. Many of those same people
chime in on License Discuss.

You may find that heeding their earnest feedback will go a long way toward
retaining an audience that's willing to help, and indeed, may find that it
also brings you closer to producing a license worthy of adoption.

Hope that helps ☺️

Wishing everyone happy holidays and all the best for the New Year!

Yours,
Josh

Josh Simmons (he/him), President, Open Source Initiative
