I have read both the blog and looked at the "product" references. Frankly the 
intellectual and grammatical quality of the blog and the comparatively 
trivial nature of the "products" referred to makes me feel that the original 
contribution does not deserve the level of attention that its author seems to 
crave.

Might it not  be better to spend more time on creating truly original 
softaware than drawing attention to oneself by purporting to reinvent the 
wheel of software licensing?
