I don't make the rules; in this context, I'm just an individual interested in
FOSS licensing sharing my opinion.  Your license is unique and enters
unprecedented ground that no FOSS license covered before in 30+ years.  It's
entirely reasonable to give unprecedented scrutiny to a copyleft license that
reaches well beyond what has been previously contemplated for copyleft.
