Whoa!  That would be really cool.  You would get the "spin" you desire
and OSI certification, while minimizing OSI's workload (thanks!), and
enhancing our reputation.  One thing, though, is that I recommend that
you take a copy of the license and publish it on your own site.  Not
because we have any plans to every change the bsd license, but just to
minimize your legal risk at a very low cost.
