I had a similar experience (went through, on license-discuss, some clauses of the ESD explicitly, examining those from an OSI perspective in contrast to OSD), and reached a similar conclusion. Direct link, for those who missed that: http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org/2020-March/021452.html Ms. Ehmke sent her goodbye posting, about twenty hours later the same day, without any response to my critique, or yours, or a number of others'. I'm not rushing, here, to any conclusions (let alone uncharitable ones) as to the reason why: I merely note the sequence of events. -- Rick Moen "The four seasons are Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. r...@linuxmafia.com For California publications, change to Mudslide, McQ!
