Dear OSI board, license reviewers and mailing list readers!
With this email I submit new Open Source license for review.
This license based on OpenBSD's variant of ISC license, but translated to russian language.
This license complies with OSD 3,5,6, and 9 as it is ISC based.
Why?
To provide russian-speaking countries and communities with OSI approved permissive license that is easy to understand and use.
To raise awareness of open source in russian-speaking countries and communities (language is in top-10 of most spoken language).
Easier advocating of open source in non-tech population.
Provide "vendor"-neutral named license (To remove questions like "What is Berkeley? ISC? MIT? Why use licenses with their names?")
License Name is "Открытый Пакет ПО" - "ОПаПО"
("Open Package of Software" or "Open Software Distribution" translating to english, "Otkritiy Paket PO" or "OPaPO" in latin as transliteration)
I had consultation with IP/Opensource lawyer regarding this license.
You can contact me using email:
