Requiring a Bitlicense for anyone who conducts business with someone who is currently located in the state of NY is overbearing.

Using instead definition in Section 250(5) of the NYS Vehicle and Transit Law.

Under the current definition, entities would require a bitlicense if their software runs is running on someone's smartphone and they happen to be transferring planes at JFK.

@rxl - could you please either accept some of our pull requests or give some of the contributors here the right to merge/accept pull requests. Thanks :)

@markdavidlamb as I mentioned to @vogelito, I had the idea of keeping the master codebase pristine and true to the original document, allowing other branches and forks to incorporate changes on their own. The reason for this is that anyone who lands on the document should be able to see and read the original, no? And meanwhile each branch and fork can act as a diff. I wish there was some way to maintain an "original" and a "working copy". Maybe we could have two markdown files. Thoughts?

Also, I'm sure @pmlaw has much more interesting plans for this than I do, and so I made him a collaborator, giving him the ability to commit and merge code.

Thanks @rxl

My plan is to submit this and any useful forks to the NY DFS at the end of the notice and comment period and invite the DFS to participate in a more constructive and collaborative approach.

Updated as requested. Thanks!
