Rather open-ended, I'm afraid. The OSI Board, which approves licenses, consists of a lot of overworked volunteers. They meet periodically and discuss however many licenses they have time for, according to a priority queue which they decide on. Your license may not even get considered for some time. I urge you instead to see if you can reuse one of the 39 existing licenses (generally speaking, changing proper names in them is not a problem). That way you will not add to the queue and you will be able to call your software "OSI Certified" right away. I think the Open Software License 1.1 in particular would serve you well. -- We call nothing profound [EMAIL PROTECTED] that is not wittily expressed.
