Anthony,
"open source" has a meaning, and is even trademarked, I think. This could
turn around our license behind our backs.

This would basically mean one person can fork, completely re-write the
license (he could perform a 100% vote to do this in his mind) and off they
go. We're at a complicated PD license again.

Wouldn't my beloved CopyLeft be much easier and make things like this
obsolete?
