I suggest that you (OSI Board of Directors folks) form a new
for-profit corp opensource-approval.org (or some such) and offer OSI
license submission service for say fifty bucks or so per "For
Approval" request to OSI (fulfilling all OSI rules and procedures,
unstated including, that is). Just an idea.
