[License-discuss] OSI equivalent

So what is the point of the OSI if it cannot do a simple up or down vote on a license submission from NASA after 3 years or provide any compatibility guidance on the licenses it managed to approve in the distant past?

Especially if the FSF has no problems in providing such guidance?

I would have thought that any such document would constitute legal
advice, which is illegal for half the list members to provide, and the
other half would only provide in the context of their specific client's
circumstances.
