From this, it would seem that you're saying my concern over making
necessary modifications to a license is well-founded, and most open
source projects are dealing with it by adopting one of the licenses
that explicitly tries to be general. I guess my question remains,
though. If you do need to make any changes at all, is it true that
OSI needs to re-certify the result?
