I am sorry that your experience was so bad. However, I don't recall sending you a previous reply, and it is certainly not my habit to send mail without a signoff signature. Are you sure it was from me? I'm also sorry that I didn't find your earlier license submission, but if you re-post it I'll

I echo SamNC experience with OSI. I also had to ask for confirmation of receipt of my license and I got a blunt one line reply witjout even a signing off signature from Mr.Rosen. I thought maybe because I don't have the pedigree of corporate backing that my effort was not as useful to OSI. I see t

To all OSI license reviewers: I have listed below all "open source" licenses that have been submitted to OSI for approval. If you have submitted a license that does not appear on this list, please let me know. I also list those licenses that have already been approved. You'll note that many of
