I didn't see any point in signing something a bunch of lawyers came up
with. I didn't even see what it was they came up with and thus had
nothing to forward on.

If you recall, in that same note I said that our license is identical to
the Apache license (since that's where we copied it from) except for that
first clause. So no, we did not come up with anything except for that
troublesome clause which we can't enforce, but the rest of it has been
reviewed by countless lawyers.

Assuming our license is legally sound. Which I think it is for the most
part.
