Does OSI approve the text of the license, the title of the license, or a combination of the text and the title? Where does it say that "OSI certified" mark cannot be used with a BSD license text titled "Foo Open License v1.2"? Does "OSI certified" mark usage terms allow placing the mark on a site that distributes open and not open software? Alex. P.S. Don't get me wrong: I am not advocating such a sneaky practice. I am just trying to understand whether OSI certification is designed to be robust against such attempts to dilute the value of the trademark. -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
