If I did, I assure you it was unintentional. :-) If anything,
I think you may have been guilty of this before I, since it was
you who changed the text tomake it appear that I was against
proliferating licences. :-) I am not against that at all -- what
I am against, and apparently failed to make clear, was the
attitude in the original post that supports 'making it harder to
create a new licence is beneficial.' Or, to quote Russ exactly,
"This has the beneficial effect of making it harder to create Yet
Another open source license."
I agree with keeping the number of essentially identical licences
to a minimum. I do *not* agree with accomplishing that by
discouraging people from trying.
Is that any more clear? :-)
