I cannot resist calling out the irony and twists-of-fate of an OSI trademark certification of a wxWindows open source software product. If OSI has the temerity to grant that one, yall should send out a press release.
Seriously, let's be careful with how we view other trademark matters when the expectation is that the OSI mark should be equally respected. [I am off the soapbox now].
