FWIW I'd call that an anti-publicity clause (to avoid confusion with the BSD-4-Clause advertising clause). > If OSI considers X11 OSI-approved as well, that would be good to > know, but I’ve never been told this and have always understood OSI > approval to track on the text of the license on the OSI website > (which means such license text also shouldn’t change, at least > without some good reason and notification) The X11 license has (AFAIK) never been submitted for OSI approval. Nor, I think, was the MIT license, but rather the MIT license was grandfathered in at some really early period. In 2000 the OSI website referred to it as "the MIT license (sometimes called the 'X Consortium license')".
