Hello,

A portuguese company, MrNet, is advertising an "opensource" product, and flags a 
certain license [ http://www.siteseed.org/ ] as opensource.

A quick inspection reveals that the first 8 of the 9 points of the open source 
definition are almost completely disregarded, and the last one is simply addressed by 
omission.

I have posted in a public forum in portuguese my problems with that misleading 
license, but I think it should be addressed by someone from the opensource initiative 
as well.

In my point of view, this license is intentionally misleading to lead the most 
gullible into thinking they're using opensource software.

What can be done more to this effect?

Best wishes, 

rms
