Heh, look at what I started. :-)
I understand if the OSI people were at a conference for the last few
days, that's understandable. When someone is available, however, I
would appreciate some sort of timeframe for certification. A FAQ
would also be a good idea.

I will not excuse the people who are supposed to
be doing certifications. I am not one of them.
I think the certification process should be outlined AND
time limited.
However, I do know that many of the people behind OSI
were unavailable yesterday. There is an open source

The bottom line is that the supposed OSI certification process has yet

I'm also new to this list and have a license to submit. Is there a FAQ for the

Hi there,

Hi there,
I recently submitted a license for certification, and I have
yet to hear anything about it. As it is, there has been very little
activity on this mailing list. I was just wondering how long it
usually takes to get a license certified, from start to finish.
Thank you.

The OSD board makes certification decisions, not me. I can only make
recommendations. So far,

I too must voice my concern about the OSI Certification Process. In
September of this year, I requested that two licenses be given OSI
Certification (Alternate Route Open Source License and Alternate Route
Library Open Source License). These licenses are very, very similar to the
GPL and LGPL

I have done so, on Nov. 1, 1999. My first post of the license was on Oct
14, 1999. Simultaneous review by my users produced no objections, and
generated demand for immediate rel

merely compliant licenses.

USA one, no less). However, since the OSI certification process calls
for public review, I felt it was more prudent to do that part *first* so

I agree. Failing to certify a license as Open Source when it meet
ea to settle for less. I can just see some poor hacker using your license
and then having to be the first one to test it in court. You want me to put
someone in that position?

I think it is very important to add the above additional criterion to
the WWW pages, if the opinion you express above is part of the
certification process. The idea that a
