Can someone who knows please tell us?  We had a professional (pro bono) lawyer
trying for months to get our license approved, and he got no response from OSI.
It gives the impression of a catch-22: they won't approve the license and they
won't tell us what's necessary in order to approve it.  As far as we can tell we
fulfilled all the publicly-visible written requirements.
