OSI Launches Certification Program With Logo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the four-years-is-a-long-time dept.

Lao-Tzu writes "The Open Source Initiative has launched an OSI certification program. The OSI has trademarked a logo looking like a keyhole for their use as a graphical certification mark. Python.org is the first website to carry the new OSI logo." One might ask what took so long.

    Putting an OSI certification logo on your software will be like putting a Mr. Yuck sticker on a bottle of Pepsi.

    Or 'Firestone' on the side of your tire.

    Or 'Enron' on your accounting firm's literature.

    Or 'Made in a Sweatshop' on the side of your shoe.

    Hint: The logo recognition thing only works if your product isn't a piece of shit.
