I intend for it to be a substantial improvement on AGPLv3 (section

While I know of no show-stopper bugs in AGPLv3ยง13, there are probably
minor improvements worth making.
Making it a "simpler, more elegant copyleft" *is* one of
the main
goals of copyleft-next. I could achieve more elegance without that
compatibility provision.
I think compatibility with at least the FSF suite is essential, if
copyleft-next is intended to be a license used in the wild.
I hear you. Keep in mind the significance of the ex-Harvey Birdman
Rule, imperfect as it is. I've thought about the idea of having a
"disclose potential conflicts of interest" rule.
Yes, I like the rule formerly known as the Harvey Birdman Rule [0] as well.
It's a rule that, if followed, can prevent the entire process from being
a giant Diplomacy game. OTOH, how is the rule formerly known as Harvey
Birdman rule enforced?
Well, any additional permission on AGPLv3 that makes TGPPL is likely
to be easily adaptable to copyleft-next.
Ok, it's up to Zooko, then, if he wants to do this work with me.
Fontana, is it on-topic for this list to the work here?
[0] BTW, I think I'm going to make a merge request to just call this
darned thing Harvey Birdman again. this "ex-Harvey Birdman" or my
preferred "The rule formerly known as Harvey Birdman Rule" is just
annoying.
