Hello,
I have received a preliminary positive report from OSI’s license committee on the Cryptographic Autonomy License v.1.0, or “CAL”.
The CAL also includes a built-in “Combined Works Exception” that seems like it would fit with your exception grammar.
1.
1. Provide a proposed Full Name for the license or exception:
2.
Cryptographic Autonomy License, v1.0, or
Cryptographic Autonomy License version 1.0, with Combined Work Exception”
3.
4.
2. Provide a proposed Short Identifier.
5.
CAL-1.0 or CAL-1.0-with-exception
6.
7.
3. Provide a functioning url reference to the license or exception text, either from the author or a community recognized source.
8.

9.
10.
4. Create and attach a text file with the license or exception text from the url provided in #3.
11.
Attached.
12.
13.
5. Indicate whether the license is OSI-approved (see: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical) or whether it
has been submitted for approval to the OSI and is currently under review.
It is currently under review and I expect approval.
14.
6. Provide a short explanation regarding the need for this license or exception to be included on the SPDX License List, including identifying at least one program that uses this license.
15.
I expect this will be approved by the OSI shortly. As soon as it is approved, Holochain will be moving to use it.
