I am not going to jump into a 12 year old discussion of badgeware itself,
but the example is instructive. You keep on comparing the CAL to the CPAL,
suggesting your belief that in a decade, the CAL will be completely
irrevelant.
That may or may not be so. But if that is the case.... that doesn't seem to
be a terrible outcome for the OSI.
Thanks,
Van
