For clarity, what does "remove the AAL license" mean to you?

If it was no longer on the list of OSI approved licenses, that doesn't mean
you can't still use that license.  It only means that the OSI no longer
considers the license sufficient for calling a software project using that
license to be Open Source.

I'm worried that some people believe the OSI owns these licenses, and that
if the OSI no longer considers a license to be approved that people are
somehow restricted from continuing to use that license.
