John,
Thanks for your note.
I understood the purpose of the process as it's described on the website:
- Ensure approved licenses conform to the Open Source Definition
- Identify appropriate License Proliferation Category
- Discourage vanity and duplicative Licenses
- Ensure a thorough, transparent and timely review (e.g. within 60 days)
That's hardly a rubber-stamp process, especially the first point!
If there are OSI-wide goals other stewardship of the Definition, are they listed somewhere? What happens if a license passes the first three points, including the Definition, but isn't approved?
