Peter Knight We should not require lawyers to pass the ‘smell test’ for an non-typical license, if it smells – which it does – it should be passed over. A legal opinion won’t make the smell away. The idea of seeking legal advice on this issue suggests we’d be willing to tolerate some friction as long as a lawyer gives the green light. This would be like needlessly straying from a principle that has gotten WordPress this far: a full embrace of OSS licenses that favour no specific business over the other.
