I agree. GPLv3 is obviously OSD-compliant. Let's get right to the point. It
is an open source license, even if RMS prefers to use a different name for
it. :-)

Quite frankly, I'm more interested to see what category the license will be
placed in on the OSI list. Is it redundant? Or will OSI immediately call it
popular?
