What is "Open software"? Maybe a more specific name should be used...
So "open software license" can be applied to other than software. Then why is it called a software license? GPL can be applied to other things too, see the WebGPL. Should the OSI stay out of the license publishing game? OSI judges licenses are Open Source or not. OSI should not itself get into the license making business. (This license says it is published by the OSI) The license is not GPL compatible---trying to create another body of code "copylefted" under its own conditions---not good for the community. --- "Lawrence E.
