Just to head off any confusion...

I don't mean to imply that the QUT license shouldn't have any
restrictions, since most OS licenses do (for good reason). My only
concern is that when the license is announced, it may turn out not to
be very open at all.

So I'm basically just hoping that they're wise about which license
they use, since so far they haven't committed to anything specific
yet.
