It looks like CentricCRM couldn't wait after all.  There's a story up at
 ZDNet (http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-6159182.html).

The members are
(http://www.opensolutionsalliance.org/Portal.do?command=Default&siteId=2&tabId=7):
Centric CRM, EnterpriseDB, JasperSoft, SpikeSource, Adaptive Planning,
CollabNet, Hyperic, Openbravo, SourceForge.net, Talend, and GroundWork
Open Source.

CentricCRM - Claims to be OSS but license is clearly proprietary
EnterpriseDB - apparently redistributes PostegreSQL, but doesn't seem to
release any new OSS.
JasperSoft - Some software GPL.
SpikeSource - "Integrates" OSS.  Saw no sign that any software they
created was.
Adaptive Planning - GPL version.
CollabNet - Subversion is under Apache. May be other OSS.
Hyperic - GPL version.
Openbravo - MPL + Exhibit B.  Refers to OSI and OSD without indicating
that they have not sought approval.
SourceForge - Completely proprietary
Talend - Most (L)GPL
GroundWork Open Source - GPL version

This hasn't been checked thoroughly.  Still, it's a mixed bag, to say
the least.
