[License-discuss] Evolving the License Review process for OSI

[Thorsten Glaser]

Smith, McCoy dixit:

>problem with "grandfathering" such licenses is that they can be used
>as precedent for new license submitters as to why their non-OSD
>compliant licenses must also be approved.

That’s why we could have a category for them, to make clear that
they are *NOT* precedent.

(Classifying “new works are not Open Source” is a bit problematic,
because what’s new. I’d rather disrecommend it but not disapprove.)

schmutzige Tricks, wie bei einer doppelt verketteten Liste beide
Pointer XORen und in nur einem Word speichern, funktioniert Boehm ganz
