Current license text allows the licensor to terminate license without cause, only based on allegations #43

The current license text can allow a licensor to terminate a license, as long as an allegation is made, effectively making it possible for the licensor to terminate a license, even if the licensee is not actually abusing human rights.

This can be an easy vector for trolls to extort companies.

We’re considering an arbitration mechanism here.

Please see the PR for the 2.1 version, which includes arbitration language. Feedback welcome!
