[License-review] [Non-DoD Source] Resolution on NOSA 2.0

[Karan, Cem F CIV USARMY RDECOM ARL (US)]

Could you (meaning you and the board) please give us a breakdown of what the issues were?  Licensing is a significant problem for the Government; having a license that we're sure stands up in court is important to us, as well as anyone that wants to use our code (nothing like getting sued to give you a bad day), so we'd really like to figure out how to fix any issues.

Thanks,
Cem Karan

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] [License-review] Resolution on NOSA 2.0

The OSI board has adopted the following resolution on the NASA Open Source Agreement 2.0:

"Resolved, That, in view of the length, complexity, and ambiguities in the submitted drafts of the NASA Open Source Agreement version 2.0, it is the opinion of the OSI that the conformance of NOSA 2.0 to the OSD cannot be assured. OSI thus can neither approve nor reject the license, and NASA is invited to submit a new draft of NOSA for consideration by the OSI."
