It's a simple statement of fact, Chuck. Think process: E.g., I write a licence with careful attention to the principles of open source. Et voila! It's OSD-compliant. But the OSI Board haven't even yet seen it, and therefore it's not OSI-approved, and software using it cannot lawfully bear the related service mark. If I never submit it for review, that situation persists. -- Cheers, "The only good goth is a shoggoth...." Rick Moen -- Alistair J.R.
