Cem, please don't feel bad about your confusion. I've been around these lists 
for years and I still get confused about their differences. You can't talk 
about license A without comparing it to license B, but those discussions may 
involve different email lists, at OSI and at FSF and at CC. And for additional 
confusion, lots of FOSS organizations like OSI move discussions from list to 
list merely to discuss everything a second time. It often permanently delays 
the decision (like the NASA and CC0 licenses have been delayed here). That was 
also often my email experience at Apache.

 

Someone ought to invent a better solution than email lists to analyze licenses 
and reach decisions.
