Sounds like good advice to me, but probably not necessary since we've
established a mailing list for discussing licenses. The motion
approved by the board read as follows:
To improve the process of evaluating proposed licenses as
OSD-compliant, we will establish an open mailing list where such
proposed licenses may be discussed. The names of the companies
associated with such licenses may be anonymized.
The list is at mailto:license-discuss-subscribe(at)opensource(dot)org
