Indeed.

New BDFL guidelines prevent me from restating what I've said before, i.e.
that this would be fixed by replacing the "unlimited licence upgrade" clause
(3) with a "CC-BY-SA or ODbL only" clause. So I won't. :)

I understand from LWG minutes that LWG has unfortunately chosen not to take
this suggestion up.

However, it is still open to LWG to qualify "free and open" with "with an
attribution requirement" (perhaps subject to such attribution requirement
being approved by OSMF on a case-by-case basis). It's been suggested that
LWG is considering this, although it hasn't made it into the minutes.

Mike, could you:

- clarify whether or not LWG is considering this;
- and consider this e-mail as a request to add such a qualification, as
quickly as possible.

cheers
Richard
