Well, the intellectual effort that's been poured into the CNRI Open Source
License is (to me!) staggering, and isn't over yet.  And it does indeed
*intend* to be "very free".  But a few of the clauses remain troubling to
many, and, as you've said here before, until a thing is tested in court we
won't really know how lawyer-proof it is -- and maybe not even then.
