I'm a little frustrated by that, too.  The discussions were always
intended to be among a small group, to prevent lobbying on behalf of
one license or another.  I thought it would happn on
license-proliferation, which is how and why I set it up.  Instead, the
committee has used a CC list.  Once the committee's results are
accepted by the OSI board (which should happen soon ... very soon),
they will be published, and THEN the fighting will begin.  Did I say
"fighting"?  I meant "discussion".

If nobody is interested in it, why bother talking about it?
