I don't want this discussion to drag on forever, going round and round, covering the same ground, beating a dead horse, and overusing cliches and stock phrases. It sure looks like there's sufficient interest in the idea of evolving the OSD && DFSG in a common direction, and maybe even making them the same document. For right now, though, it seems that the DFSG isn't going to change at any price. Once Debian goes through the process of even figuring out HOW to modify the social contract, then the subject is worth bringing up again.
In the meantime, I'm going to send proposed licenses for the OSI Certified mark to both debian-legal and license-discuss with a mail-followup-to license-discuss. And I'd appreciate it if there were more Debian folks on the license-discuss list. We *do* listen to the members of that list, so join it if you want to have more influence over the licenses that become approved for the OSI Certified mark.
