Sigh.

If you would address your comments to arguments rather than people it 
would be helpful. Let's not encourage people to do otherwise, OK?

Of course I know that OSI has accepted some absolutely horrid licenses. 
Some of which never had the benefit of the work of an attorney before 
they were approved. I've hardly been quiet in my opposition to that.

In addition, there's no short-list. I think this lets developers down too.

Is there something I'm missing?
