It's likely the governmental and educational legacy users have a different perspective, but I don't personally understand what's objectionable in the LRSA. We didn't find anything in it objectionable and signed it primarily to make the waiver John mentions explicit rather than implicit. And before anything gets signed here, a lot of people in procurement and other areas, often including legal assessment, have to review it to make sure we are not obligating the agency to anything we shouldn't be.
