That's how it's got to work.  I expect that license-discuss will come
up with a recommendation, BUT I also expect that some decisions will
be more or less controversial than others.  For example, the Zope
Public License contains the name of the Zope Corporation within it.
If you want to use it, you need to create a derivative license, which
in most cases will earn a rubber stamp.  Others, like, well, like the
Real Public License, will be more controversial, and the
recommendation will reflect that.
