[Samuel Klein]

Laura,

Thanks for your work on the proposal.  I hadn't looked at fanhistory in any
detail before, and enjoyed discovering it's lifecycle through your blog.

I agree with John here.  Your approach and proposal are greatly appreciated.
Educational projects aimed at educating others, providing material for
future research, or gathering useful knowledge are certainly ones we should
give consideration to adopting.  The copyright issues is a sticking point,
as geni notes -- I strongly recommend that you look into changing your
license, regardless of the result of this proposal, so that you can better
work with other projects in the future.
