I'd say more that trust. Let's be blunt: The legal issues related
to using, consuming and/or leveraging open source are legend.
Use of a non OSI-approved "open source" license is simply a
guarantee to spend huge amounts of billable hours having
one's legal team vet the license, if anyone even bothers to
*consider* a non-OSI license in the first place. An OSI approved
license lowers a LOT of barriers to entry.
