Our request is pending from January 14 2000 [1], which complied with the 
stated policy of sending the request to license-approval. John Cowan actually 
stated it should be added to the list for consideration in September 2000 
[2], but still no action as recently discussed [3].

Correct. Fortunately with respect to my SourceForge concern, this has not 
been a problem with them; for example HTML Tidy is now a SourceForge project. 
It's just rather confusing, and slightly awkward with respect to this whole 
OSI process and the classification of "other/proprietary" on SourceForge. But 
there's ultimately bigger problems in the world <smile/>.
