I actually said this is one of my drafts, but then decided it was
even more confusing to call out one out of the unlimited number of
things that are not licensed under Robert's.  I would be
interested to know what others think about this.

Yes, I think so.  We keep running into this concept over and over
again.  I got all tangled up in business days before, but here's a
definition that might work:

      Business day -- excludes weekends and such holidays as may
      be designated by the board of directors.
