Re: R: Request for Evaluation of Lachesis Open License

Hello,

I have reservation about clauses 10 and 14.

Clause 10 seems to restrict the use of software, even the clause is 
well-intentioned.

There are many well-intentioned ideas to restrict one or more of the 
four freedoms, but they are patronizing. The person who distributes 
software under a Free Software Licence must not be the guardian of the 
licensees. Freedom (esp. of use) means the right to do even bad things.

And clause 14 seems to be not clear enough. Who is the "involved 
public"? And what means "available for use in a usable format"?

To encourage someone (clause 5) may be nice, but declares neither an 
obligation nor a right. So the meaning of that clause seems to be unclear.

Just my 2 cents

Regards
Michael
