Actually, I know about these efforts.  However, what I want
to be able to do is say, unequivocally, that
"public domain software is open source software,"
and point to OSI as a resource.

Having public domain mentioned in those other forums doesn't
help me or anyone else who is trying to determine if something
in the public domain is open source software.
