Hello Dave, I would like to thank you for your contribution to protecting the open source communities that you are a part of. I would also like to take a moment to touch on the points you made. The license is not currently open source, however, we felt that from a discussion and research POV that it may be beneficial for our community and the broad open source community to start discussions around the project, its potential utility, and possible implications of technology like this.
