Rob, all "free20" means is "completely open."  Commerical, non-commerical,
whatever.

You're right.  The OGC in Free20 cannot be used to prohibit non-Free20
derivitives.  For a time I was considering allowing the creation of "sticky"
Free20 works, but those would operate by having Free20 be a requirement for
use of non-OGC and PI.

At the current time, I'm not planning on having anything of the sort for
Free20.  There isn't enough real reason for it for me to bother.
