I see no need to duplicate work if they are timely (these license have been out there for more than a year).<BR>
<BR>
When will they submit?<BR>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">There are several licenses which use this Exhibit B all claiming to be open source companies, products, etc. None of them have submitted their licenses for approval to my knowledge. Is it possible to submit their license on their behalf so there can be an actual determination?</FONT><BR>

<B><FONT COLOR="#000000">If not, can I submit my own license?</FONT></B><FONT COLOR="#000000"> Ie, just like they all use the same Exhibit B template can I submit a license "ForcedAttributionCompany Public License" with the Exhibit B for determination? </FONT><BR>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">IMHO, they are not. There is a very broad audience now buying into these "apps" as open source; these additions to the open source community are not as educated as those on the infrastructure side. It seems the very people that could use an OSI service most (newbie open source USERs) would benefit greatly from a determination from OSI on the Exhibit B's of the world.</FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">Please let me know if I can prepare a license for submission "ForcedAttributionCompany Public License." I know it is strange to submit a license with an expectation it be rejected but the outcome remains just as important (determining if Exhibit B meets OSD or not).</FONT><BR>
