You know what would be an awesome thing for OSI to have?  Web pages with
these summaries.  They would both provide a future reference for when
licenses substantially like these show up again, *and* a good guide for
submitters on what isn't going to work.  (And a handy reference for the
future Reddit threads on why a license was rejected)
