That's fine, but he's still just one person, and we haven't yet
established what the procedure is for working out a possible name conflict.

We need to address some questions here first.

1) Does OSI have a concern in not approving license *names* that are
derivative in a potentially misleading way?

2) If so, what should be our procedure for deciding if such a derivative
name is acceptable?

I've argued that the answer to (1) is "yes".  I'm not sure what the
answer to (2) is.
