I have read the Academic Free License v1.0 and have concluded that it
meets the requirements for OSI certification.
I also agree with the author's stated reasons regarding why this license
as opposed to other existing all-permissive licenses. At a time when
open source is becoming more common and more academic and commercial
ventures are involving such, having properly structured licenses is
essential to ensuring that open software stays open.
Cheers, Nathan.
