In theory, it might be usefull, but there is a significant difference between the OSD and the DFSG: the OSD is a definition, whereas the DFSG is a guideline. This has poses interesting aspects for how we interpret licenses like the GFDL, OSL, and others. See http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/message/20030126.175505.a6b4f9aa.html for the most recent thread on OSD and DFSG "convergence". Don Armstrong -- Tell me something interesting about yourself.
