Thanks. I have not yet run this by any lawyers, but my sense is we should

1. Avoid legalese-sounding phrases and possibly some landmine terms, and
2. Avoid promising anything.

I also think listing all possible things is... ambitious. It's certainly
unlikely to ever be exhaustive, so we shouldn't give the impression that it
is (if we have such a list at all).

Also, this focuses on describing what we know about some of the software we
include. I think we need more of the very first paragraph -- what our
intentions are, and what policies we have for our packages and artifacts.

As we can see from this thread alone, there is no consensus at all on what
it means to "strive to protect user privacy" (but I think all of us agree
that we should).
