It seems to be a work in progress, not a release.
You raise valid points that certainly need to be addressed before a release
is cut. But for now, we should be glad somebody is doing actual work that
helps us get closer to a version that is NOT Adobe; we should help, rather
than obstruct, his efforts.
Maybe you can have a look at the LICENSE and NOTICE files that would be
required, as that has become something of a specialty of yours?
