I'll leave the discussions as to which open source license CAVO prefers to CAVO. My point was only to ensure that the scope of open source software licenses was understood. In addition, it is important to note the OSI's historical role and interests around both copy left and permissive licenses. We obviously have an interest in promoting this broader perspective.<br>
