If You distribute copies of the Original Work or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to obtain the express and volitional assent of recipients to the terms of this License. What does this mean for hosting a public git repository[1] to organize sparse patches? Do I have to put some "Accept License" page in front=20 of it? How do I force git to show that "Accept License" page when downloading from that repository?=20 What does this clause mean for sending patches to the mailing list.=20 Shouldn't the patches be attached as password protected source archive and the message contain something like "By extracting that archive you declare to obey the terms of The Open Software License"? Maybe that password thing is a solution for making git repositories=20 OSL compliant?
