It occurs to me that the OSI will not be pleased with this sort of thing. Despite past personal frictions between some early OSI members and, ah, everyone, OSI is basically on the side of Free Software, not against it. The current OSI volunteer team are rather more capable of talking to humans, are working to get the team useful again, and having them guarding the term "open source" would be good for free software. Has anyone from FSF or FSFE been in touch with any of them? Simon Phipps (webmink) in particular would be very good value, and is UK-based. - d. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
