Based on some off-list reactions, some people understood the above as 
stating that *all* those who have concerns about open licenses do so out 
of an unthinking, knee-jerk reaction. I want to be absolutely clear that 
in no way is that what I believe and I am sorry if I expressed myself 
poorly.

It has been my experience in discussing this with a number of 
stakeholders that this topic has, through perhaps unfortunate history, 
been catalogued in the wrong political pigeon hole. I merely intended to 
invite all to reconsider views formed in earlier debates on this issue. 
I don't, in fact, believe that this needs to be a heated discussion at all.

The reason we're running this as an experiment is precisely so that 
concerns can be aired, and (I certainly hope) addressed.
