Thank you for that clarity on choice of venue (etc.).
I think is interesting to read @webmink's take on
this subject [0].

With your "draft EPL compatibility provision" in combination
with this entry from the EPL FAQ [0] suggests that both
licenses can be satisfied (i.e. interpreting "narrowing") by
re-distributing any upstream EPL code under the EPL and
any other additional code under CLN.

Is that an accurate interpretation?

Separately, does the "Proprietary Relicensing" provision of 6.b)
reference "this clause" refer only to §6.b) -or- to
the entirety of §6 (preventing any distribution)?

Regards,
