(Hopefully replying to my sent mail works and doesn't start a new thread)
I've incorporated most suggestions (commit 848faa0 in the previously linked to
GitHub repository) and attached the new draft as both plaintext and universal
diff from previous plaintext.
- conditions -> obligations
- at least one publication must be available for at least 30 days
- patent grants
- explicit irrevocability except in case of obligation violations
Any additional feedback would be welcome.
Thank you for your time.
