[License-review] Dear OSI License Review Committee,

[McCoy Smith]

If you're going to submit completely, as Pam suggests, I think you're 
going to want to spend some time on what the purpose of this license is 
and how it is different or an improvement upon, for example, 
BSD-4-Clause, which is not OSI approved because of the so-called 
"advertising clause" that this license appears to also contain (it 
appear to require more than reproduction of attribution notices).

Special "condition" a) doesn't really seem to be a condition at all, so 
I don't see what is the point of including it.
