While it does not currently include the Truecrypt license, the FSF
already has a list of non-free licenses on our license list
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NonFreeSoftwareLicenses>.
The list focuses on licenses that are often mistaken as being free
licenses, so if OSI is looking to do something similar, they might find
it a useful starting point.
