<p>As suggested, moving to license-discuss.</p>
<p>My concern with delisting is that someone will have relied on the
approval and it would be unfair, and a bad look for OSI, to
suddenly pull the rug out. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I second the idea of a License
Deprecation Committee, a la the License
Proliferation Committee of ’04. In fact, you
could make it a License Proliferation and
Deprecation Committee to address both issues
(assuming there are people who believe license
proliferation is now a problem).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Given that there have been
existing licenses on the list that have been
argued as precedent for recent submissions which
were rejected or opposed, at a minimum there ought
to be a serious look at some of the historical
approvals to test whether those approvals would
survive under current standards. I can think of
at least one license currently on the list which
I’ve looked at recently where I can’t justify it
as consistent with the OSD (or at least my
understanding thereof) or the approval process as
currently run. That’s not a situation that I
believe ought to exist and can play into the
perception that OSI approval is inconsistent
and/or arbitrary.</p>
