Nor do they have standing to submit CC0 anyway so Creative Commons would have to do so. Why would they bother? The FSF already recommends CC0 for public domain release and so does the US government (or a notable part of it anyway). I also doubt that any patent grant drafted by US government lawyers would be broad but necessarily nuanced so it wouldn¹t fare any better than NOSA v2.0. I¹m curious, when is the next board meeting and are you going to allow an up or down vote on NOSA at that meeting? _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org https://lists.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
