I couldn't expect any different reaction from you.

And I explicitly used the word "borderline".

I don't think the issues have vanished, and I would certainly not use
such a license myself.

Still, the contributor indemnification clause is very bad in spirit,
but, as I already explained, I don't think it has practical

The patent retaliation clause has more real-world implications, but
frankly I couldn't care less of some random company being bitten for
using software patents.
