License Committee Report for September 2008

[Bruce Perens]

Hello, Ms. Shi,

The "Other documents" links seem to be incorrect.

The basic problem with this license is 3.2: "To ensure the document 
interoperability, the work should conform to UOML. Conformance should be 
tested by UOML Technical Conformance Kit."

This is non-compliant with the Open Source Definition requirement 6, 
prohibiting discrimination against a field of endeavor, and 10, 
requiring the license to be technology-neutral.

It seems to me that we've been through this discussion before. What you 
are asking for, you can do perfectly by means of a certification process 
rather than a software license.

I don't speak for the OSI board, but I can't think of a way that they'd 
ever be able to approve this as written.

    Thanks

    Bruce
