I think Kent's suggestion is perfectly fine.

I would like to take this opportunity to note that we're using a
definition that talks about open works to analyze open licenses. And
that's a bit messy and something we might want to address in the
future, by splitting out the definition into two parts:

1. what defines an open license

2. what defines an open work

The first criteria for an open work would be "is licensed under an
open license"; another criteria for an open work would be Kent's "the
open license is unambiguously applied", etc.

Putting this on the radar-
