You don't get a change in the definition for a specific
software or license -- or, to put it another way, this has not been
done, ever. What the OSI does is try and determine if a license
meets the requirements of the unchanged definition, or not.
In this case, it is pretty clear that the license does not
meet the definition -- and that is pretty much that.
