I was browsing the O'Reilly open-source page today and finally noticed the link to the Common License Working Group. The link is at http://opensource.oreilly.com/ The information on the Common License Working Group is here: http://protected.speech.cs.cmu.edu/clwg/ I'm not sure how this relates to the OSI, except that the OSD is used as an example of a metalicense and there are a number of other interesting licenses offered as specimens. Also, ESR seems to be participating at some level. Maybe this will be revitalized at this summer's open-source conference. -- Dennis
