Thank you Ralph! That is EXACTLY the reason why we moved this conversation to legal-disc...@apache.org, which is a public email list that anyone can read and copy. I'm now also copying license-discuss@opensource.org and the European Legal Network <ftf-le...@fsfeurope.org>. I'm hoping for responses from attorneys. I'm fully prepared to ride my horse into the sunset if other attorneys tell me I'm inventing copyright law. I will lend my horses to others to ride into the sunset if (PLEASE!) attorneys say something supportive. /Larry -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Goers [mailto:ralph.go...@dslextreme.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2015 1:18 PM To: Legal Discuss; Lawrence Rosen Subject: Re: Proposal: Apache Third Party License Policy <snip> _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
