I'd just like to point out that this "final call for comments" is your suggestion. Those dealing with the licence drafting process in the OSMF have not set any final call on feedback or use cases, in fact we haven't yet called for comment on either at the present time. While the use cases will indeed be useful we don't consider that the process is closed and contributors are welcome to add new use case questions to the wiki at any time, as per any other wiki page. >I suggest that we next put together a project plan to bring the licence >elegantly into life and sort out what needs to be done, by when and by whom >to achieve that?

You are already aware that the OSMF has an ongoing project in this respect and SteveC posted an update on progress only two days ago. Most of what you are suggesting above is already in our implementation plan. We very much welcome the work that has been done by you and others over the last few weeks so we will be happy to see a task list appearing but don't be surprised if the final process is undertaken in a different format. Anything put up on the wiki will be noted and incorporated into the master plan where the need is seen, and of course we will continue to provide updates as and when there is something concrete to report.
