As a point of clarification, evaulation of licences proposed for OSI Certified status got moved to separate mailing list license-review when that forum was established a couple of years back. This forum has been allowed to be more free-form. > I am asking this mailing list for help crafting a proprietary license. It > is certainly ironic but not at all off-topic. Speaking for myself (and I am only a friendly hanger-on to OSI), I have no problem with you asking. However, I doubt OSI has relevant expertise, and would not be surprised if OSI Board members both have other priorities and are wary of involvement in proprietary software licensing. -- Cheers, "I love stateless systems."
