I see and understand your policy position. I would have to consider it
further to determine whether I agree. But I don't see how this position can
possibly be logically consistent with the broad understanding of open
source: A foundational license of both free software and open source, that
is not FOSS if it is used as explicitly described within the license? That
is the licensing equivalent of "you're holding it wrong." Such an
assertion, if upheld, would substantially weaken my confidence that the OSD
could be evaluated in a consistent fashion.

Thanks,
Van
