"Standard" is a loaded term. Licenses are not standards and OSI is not a standards organization. Larry

Hi, all- A few of us were talking and realized the FAQ/website have nothing to explain why *using standard licenses* is a good idea. This being a sort of basic point, I started remedying the problem :) Draft FAQ entry addressing the question is here: http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/Projects/Why+standardized+licensing%3F There is also an incomplete potential more-than-FAQ answer that could be put somewhere on opensource.org. The more I think about it, the more I think the FAQ may be sufficient, but I'd be curious what others here think and whether something longer is worthwhile. Feedback is probably better on-wiki but the list is fine too. :) Luis
