Heh...and to not malign Larry work...I hunted for the vaguely remembered problem:

		"4. If we are going to keep using JOSL as an OSI-recommended license, it 
		really needs to be rewritten (e.g., it asserts that all code under JOSL 
		belongs to Jabber Inc.!). I think it is simpler to deprecate it."

Between its disuse and desire for non-proliferation the jabber board elected to 
deprecate the license.
