I appreciate and welcome the interest very much but might suggest
holding off because I have a feeling we may want to just start over
from scratch, given how long it's been since this license was even
occasionally being reviewed and modified. Which reminds me, I should
start a thread on what the goals of copyleft-next are or should be at
this point. They aren't necessarily going to match whatever the
objectives were over a decade ago, as I think we're already starting
to see with some of the comments e.g. on the "Copyleft Sunset" and so
forth.
