Thank you for submitting this license proposal.  Clarification: where 
the opinions on these flaws in the MPL, and the revisions to them, 
drafted by an attorney or with the help of one?  It's not a requirement, 
but lets us know how to regard the text of the changes.

You're aware that removing the Secondary License clauses can make 
Tiwaz-license software incompatible with GPL-licensed software for 
combined works?  Just making sure that's intended effect.

Finally, where does the name "Tiwaz" come from?  Note that the tiwaz.fyi 
domain appears to be non-functional right now.
