In general, OSI doesn't certify licenses unless the creator of the license
submits them.  In my personal opinion (I don't speak for OSI), the ZPL
by itself is an Open Source license without patent permissions.  Its
copyright provisions are very similar to the Mozilla Public License.
The other two are not Open Source licenses, but specifically defer to the
ZPL and other Open Source licenses in respect of any software released
under those licenses.

Consider the matter of Analytic Philosophy.  Dennett and Bennett are well-known.
Dennett rarely or never cites Bennett, so Bennett rarely or never cites Dennett.
There is also one Dummett.  By their works shall ye know them.  However, just as
no trinities have fourth persons (Zeppo Marx notwithstanding), Bummett is hardly
known by his works.  Indeed, Bummett does not exist.  It is part of the function
of this and other e-mail messages, therefore, to do what they can to create him.
