Sure people notice -- I don't like the implications of that license 
either.   Lots of people agree on that.  But there is no point getting 
outraged or posting about it because the NetBSD leadership usually
(historically) refuses to make public comments on such issues (at least
until they are resolved, and sometimes not even then).  You are only 
going to get told that it is none of your business, and if you persist 
the mailing list will be made moderated and all non-technical comments 
will be filtered out.   It doesn't matter if you've contributed to the 
project or not.   It is a closed process.   That is the way this project 
is (and has been) run.   That is the way CGD and the other project 
founders structured it.  That is the way they do business and we really
don't get a say in it.  Public discussions on the management of the
project are not welcome.

The best you can do is send your comments, in _private_, to core@netbsd.org.
But don't expect much in the way of interaction because core as a group is
notoriously  s l o w  in addressing these sorts of issues.  It could
very well be months of silence before this is resolved (although since
i suspect it blocks the release of 1.3, i would hope it doesn't fester
that long).
