I do recommend it, because licenses with patent terms are more useful to
implementors than ones without patent terms. I have no insight into the
Board.
However, I find it confusing that the patent terms "use, sell" are
scrambled in with the copyright terms "copy, distribute". I recommend
reordering.
How have you been?
