Explains ZPL was drafted to protect developers' enthusiasm and income, arguing "free" should come with prerequisites; asks that developers' efforts be weighed alongside users' rights, even if the license is not approved.

Zentao Public License ===================== Submission: https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review/2016-June/002800.html Comments: Submission did not fully follow approval requirements. Substantive discussion focused on the badgeware issue; some suggested that legacy approval might be a more appropriate path. Recommendation: Reject. Upstream Compatibility License v1.0 (UCL-1.0) ============================================= Submission: https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review/2016-October/002856.html Comments: Questions were raised about conformance with the nondiscrimination policy of OSD 5. It was suggested that the license be redrafted so that all downstream modifications are licensed under the Apache License 2.0 (rather than just upstream licensors receiving a copy under the Apache License 2.0). Recommendation: At request of license submitter and others, OSI to provide general guidance by commenting on whether a license that privileges one class of licensees by giving it greater permissions relative to other licensees conflicts with OSD or should be discouraged or disapproved for non-OSD policy reasons. European Space Agency Public Licenses (ESA-PL) ============================================== Submission: https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review/2016-December/002902.html Comments: Suite of three licenses. Some initial questions were raised on the list but the license submitter has not yet responded. Recommendation: Encourage further review and discussion on list. Octopus License =============== Submission: https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review/2016-December/002906.html Comments: Submission does not conform to all the requirements stated at https://opensource.org/approval. Submitter has been asked to review the requirements and provide all requested supporting data. Some preliminary discussion has taken place on the list. Recommendation: No action at this time. Richard
