Thanks a lot for the work. The initiative make sense now more than ever !

I'd like to dig in a bit more on how enforceable is the climate-strike license in court all over the world. It not only depends on how compliant is the license to the law, but also on its - wide - adoption and its legal support. How do you guys see it working ? Moreover, what we see with Open-Source or free license, as well as more restrictive license such as the Peer Production License (https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Peer_Production_License) for instance, is that it is quite difficult to defend yourself from predatory behaviors because of the lack of resources to support court actions for instance. Does such a support has been though to make sure that the term of the license is respected or, at least, that in case of conflict that actions will be taken to make the terms respected ?
