OSI Turns Down 4 Licenses; Approves Python Foundation's

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the keeping-the-updates-going dept.

Russ Nelson writes "The Open Source Initiative turned down four licenses this week. Not to name names, but one license had a restrictive patent grant that only applied to GPL'ed operating systems. Another was more of a rant than a license. Another was derived from the GPL in violation of the GPL's copyright. And the fourth had insufficient review on the license-discuss mailing list (archives). The one license that did pass was the Python Software Foundation License."

    This is currently tagged "Flamebait," which it may well be; but man did he just crack my ass up! Cheers... moderators, please take it easy. This was done in good humor, me thinks.
