What do the defined acronyms stand for?

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear. I've read the definitions and 
agree they define what they mean, but I was wondering what the expansion 
of the initialism were. The context is that I'm writing up some proposed 
amendments, one of which is to remove unnecessary initialisms, as they 
are often a barrier to comprehensibility, and I wanted to know what to 
put in their stead.

So my point is that I think the licence would be clearer if it continued 
using "Network Service Source" and "Corresponding Source" rather than 
the initialisms, as those terms give a reasonable approximation of their 
meaning to the casual reader without having to refer to the definitions.

This is another thing I've noted in my review. As the definitions 
underpin the rest of the licence text, I feel that it is clearer to put 
them at the front so readers know what you are referring to when they 
read it. This probably depends on the length of your document, as a very 
long document might be better served with a glossary in a separate 
chapter at the end so that it can be easily be located when needed. The 
licence text is short enough that navigation is not a significant issue, 
so I'd have a small preference for the front, though I don't feel too 
strongly about it.

 > I would say a term used only once should perhaps be defined close to 
where it's used rather than in a definitions section.

I'd agree with that, though it does risk adding inconsistency if you 
still have to define terms used throughout the text, and can affect the 
flow of the text if the terms already give an approximate understanding 
without the definitions.

Thanks,
James.
