When someone misuses it, we generally ask them nicely not to (if we find out about it). But only "OSI Certified" is or was protected. In particular, if for example a license were legally equivalent to the BSD license, the OSI would probably not certify it, but it would still be an open source license. -- John Cowan http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org Dievas dave dantis; Dievas duos duonos --Lithuanian proverb Deus dedit dentes; deus dabit panem --Latin version thereof Deity donated dentition; deity'll donate doughnuts --English version by Muke Tever God gave gums; God'll give granary --Version by Mat McVeagh
