I honestly didn't think I'd made a particularly subtle point (and odds
are, it was based on misinterpretation of a rather ambiguous upthread
post), but I'll restate it, anyway:

Licences submitted to the OSI can be judged either OSD-compliant or not
irrespective of the personal merits of the drafter.  In particular,
such licences' OSD-compliance in no way hinges on the drafter's
selection of targets for his/her public bloviating about alleged patents
-- that sideshow being, as such, simply irrelevant to the question.

Gee, thanks.  Curious minds want to know:  Have we perhaps just been
treated to a "witnessing" of some kind?
