Re: Topic for Meeting

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!
Katie

I had not, until now.

The FSF is not amused.  https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/protecting-free-software-against-confusing-additional-restrictions
