So, two things:

1. The Unlicense is already in wide use, as opposed to proposed but new
licenses

2. YOU ARE NOT AN ATTORNEY, and no amount of arguing on this list can
make you one.

The attorneys on this list seem to be satisfied that, contrary to your
position, the Unlicense does not expose downstream users to criminal
charges.  If you want to dispute that, you need to get a *legal* opinion
that says otherwise.  Not YOUR opinion, which to be blunt, doesn't count
because you are not an expert.

So -- get an attorney, or please be silent. You have made your
arguments.  Making them repeatedly in 800 different emails does not make
them any more true than they were the first time.
