Hi Dianne, I prefer Santa Claus, the Commons Clause strikes me as dubious (at best). I still don't think the FSF would find that amusing, but I tried. I like the way the FSF refers to it as "the so-called 'Commons Clause'". :) I searched for similar thoughts from the FSFE, but could not find any. I might send them an email to ask them about those thoughts. Hope the holidays are treating you well!

I had not, until now. The FSF is not amused. https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/protecting-free-software-against-confusing-additional-restrictions Regards, Dianne.
