Some people have asked what the goals of this project are. Here are a
few *possible* goals. This list may be modified over time. It is
likely that some of these goals are in conflict with one another.
* Make the license shorter (the jocularly-expressed objective here is
"one line shorter than the Apache License 2.0")
* Make the license terms easier for nonlawyers to understand
* Investigate possible improvements to the basic legal implementation
of strong copyleft policy
* Explicitly codify "inbound=outbound" project contribution policy
* Discourage so-called proprietary relicensing
* Address practical issues that have arisen in GNU GPL compliance
