Just to follow up (it was cited in a separate thread back in the
Summer) we now have:

<http://opendefinition.org/licenses/process/>

I also agree we probably want to start arranging a bi-monthly or
quarterly meeting to review on these.

Suggest we boot doodle poll to pick a date for a virtual
(skype/etherpad/irc) Advisory Council meeting to review extant
licenses some time in Feb/March.

@Mark: would you be up for coordinating this?
