I don't think OSI approved Sun Solaris license. What it approved is CDDL, which is also approved by FSF. There is only one license which is approved by OSI but which is considered non-free by FSF. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_Public_License > However FOSSCOM should not in principle have a problem with any > licence which is GPL compatible. Why restrict it to only GPL compatible licenses?

Incase of egovernance (or even other non > trivial) software this should be strictly avoided. We can certainly say we prefer GPL.
