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.Full Text
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.
