This or a list of approved sources as I have already suggested. 

The current wording in the CTs 1.2 simply throws us back to the pre-CT 1.0
state (depending on the mapper to make a decision on licensing issues). The 
LWG actually knows that this doesn't work, but obviously doesn't want to
actually do anything about it.
