I agree, although I have a personal preference for copyleft vs 
permissive, because - as a user - I feel that permissive does not 
respect users (because they might be used to lure users into proprietary 
software because of specific features available only in proprietary 
versions of the program).

The policy is quite clear, and is not going to change. The problem is 
that there might be SC members who are not subscribed here, and that I 
would like express the concept is a way that is not possible to start 
another discussion about the merit of licenses, as I think that we had 
even too many of them during the podling at ASF.
