We need to go by OSI. Creating another idea what OSS is will confuse
things. If SUSE decides to include other things, like pine, then please do
not call it OSS. Call it somethings like 'SUSE CD Software Criteria'

Thsi SCSC already exists in some form. No idea if there is an official
paper about it. It seems to be along the lines of: freely distributable
non-OSS sofwtare.

To see the differnt licences and how many packages use it, run
L=License:;pin $L|awk -F$L '{print $2}'|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr|less

On my 10.0 I get 96 different licences.
