> If anyone notifies you in writing that you have not complied with [Notices](#notices), you can keep your license by taking all practical steps to comply within 30 days after the notice. If you do not do so, your license ends immediately.

I'm not sure I like it. Like, what if the notification of notice was incorrect? You lose your license anyway?



By default under most open source licenses, particularly permissive ones, violating the terms even by accident ends your license instantly, with no notice whatsoever.

Including a fair, common sense path to forgiveness severely limits legal risk for users, and is one of the things I like about the Blue Oak license.


Is it osi approved?
