The trouble is, these politicians are beholden to
specialized interests ... tobacco, arms etc.

However, the real issue of this thread is the one
of whether the software will be used if it is under
an alternative license ?

Unless a license is a known Open Source license
(GPL, BSD etc) or a proprietary license by a well
established company, I personally will not go near
the software.

This means I am not one of the responders to
V Porton's efforts.

Wonderful as the softwarwe might be, the licensing
is so fuzzy and V Porton does not have the status
of MS or IBM, sorry.

I am sure that a large proportion of people have
a similar position. So license it how you like,
but a non standard license probably dooms a product
to some obscure non-acceptance.
