Everyone here has had to read the license and agree to it. Why would we need a rehash? If my needs or plans for Plan9 change then I'll revisit the license and get on the other list and talk about it. I respect Stallman, but when it starts looking like he is issuing decrees, it is too much like the Ayatolla's Fatwa for my liking. I am certain this is not his intent, but there are those that out of to respect for Stallman, lack of experience, or lack of time will take his word for gospel rather than verify for themselves. This is not healthy; It starts looking like a GNU cult, rather than a free association of people that believe keeping the source code locked up is wrong.
