FWIW if there is any objection to me doing this from Open MPI, let me
know as I'd want to let OSI know. I'm assuming you wouldn't but don't
know for sure.

Wow, cool! Many thanks for doing that.
I can probably be contacted with questions, but I am most definitely
not a lawyer.
Per the 2nd and 3rd messages on that thread, do you need me to join
that list? If so, I’d probably join it for limited time (i.e., just
for the duration of that discussion).

Just a note to the user base:
I this week submitted the Open MPI license (which has a SPDX
identifier of BSD-3-Clause-Open-MPI in part because it is a variant
of the BSD 3-Clause license) for inclusion in the list of Open Source
Initiative (OSI) approved open source licenses.
You can see the discussion thread here:
https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2025-May/thread.html
(unfortunately, they don't index by thread but by month, so the
discussion may continue over into to later month archives). If you
want to comment on the submission, you'd need to be a subscriber to
the OSI license-review mailing list.
The submission lays out why I thought it was important to have this
license improved: it has some beneficial features that aren't found
in plain BSD 3-clause, that I think non Open MPI user might found of
value.
I indicated that Open MPI is the steward of this license (which I
believe it to be); I'm not sure if anyone on this list continues to
steward the license (which is over 20 years old, AFAIK), but if you
have opinions on this submission, you may want to provide them to the
OSI mailing list.
