Are the OSI lists public (sorry, cannot check, I'm off-line at the moment waiting for my plane to Malaga)? Is anyone from -legal following them already? > unsolicited approach to the licensor *after* the OSI process has > finished cannot help but be interpreted as rude. I'm not sure if this is true. Say someone approaches OSI with their license, the OSI has their decision making process and announces that the license is OSI compliant. -legal reads the license and find some issues why the license is not DFSG-free. Someone then contact the author of the license, basically saying "We noticed that you have just been OSI certified, but we found that it does not adhere to the DFSG because of this and that. The DFSG is about this and that, and this is why it is different to the OSI guidelines and we why feel it is important to comply with the DFSG." I don't think such a mail would be perceived as rude. Some people might ignore it and not care, but I cannot see people seeing it as rude. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
