Perhaps I didn't phrase clearly, but I wasn't disagreeing with you about not calling it "Open Source" or "Free Software". I agree it shouldn't be called that. Clarified for you, my comments meant to state: 1) OSI should campaign against proliferation as part of it's mission. 2) Companies are now trying out restrictive, non-open source licenses. I think it's a mistake, and what they really want is normal copyleft.
