Hmmm... license-discuss vetted it against the OSD, but debian-legal
turned it down under the DFSG even though the language for both is
nearly identical. What annoys me about this process is that we
*specifically* established license-discuss to keep this from
happening.
Perhaps I should be sending proposed licenses to debian-legal as well
as license-discuss?
