Sounds perfect to me; lets proceed with this approach.
In terms of signatures on paper - we can do that, but it will take some
significant effort. I suspect that we can achieve a similar result
socially anyway.
What I propose is that - I take this to the ESC; and we think it
through & come up with a decision there, which we can minute. TDF has
really no interest in breaking your palette so my hope is that this is
easy to achieve.
After that - I suggest, that you write a (normal) license statement for
the palette; and I'll respond to that referring to the ESC decision and
committing us to either not changing it in the TDF version.
If that works for you, I hope we can close the topic ! =) the next ESC
call is on Thursday, and you're welcome to come of course; dial in
details are here:

And thanks for being so flexible ! and of course for promoting
LibreOffice it is great to have smart & creative people involved with
our design community =)
All the best,
Michael.
