Mu.

You are asking a question based on a fundamental error of fact.  (Nobody 
talked about such "precluding"; OSI's claim to the canonical definition of
that term in the software context is a matter of history and usage, and
thus rests largely on a moral claim, not to mention the backing of many 
interested parties.)

Welcome to the mailing list, anyway.  We won't hold that against you.  ;->
