The OSI was created as a "marketing" campaign with the explicit intention of hiding the freedom part of Free Software, promoting the consequences rather than the causes, thinking it would appear as a better development model for businesses. It could be argued that they had a degree of success. In fact the popularity has increased a lot since those days. However, if you keep promoting the consequences the causes are soon forgoten and most people view it as being a matter of being [technologically] better rather than a matter of rights. Under this light, the success is rather shallow and rather easy to disappear. Rui
