<div dir="ltr">It's been recommended/suggested that we defer discussion of this particular license as it should be part of a larger discussion regarding the expansion of copyleft. Hopefully I characterized that correctly.<div><br></div><div>Are we tabling discussing this license and moving to license-discuss or just proceeding? It seems like someone should clarify what the OSI board would prefer to do in these kinds of circumstances (also rather rare).</div><div><br></div><div>It would, however, be moderately unfair to the submitter to shift this to license-discuss with no real guidance on when or if any decision should emerge. Presumably we shouldn't spend years on it but may want far more than the recommended 60 days. I also don't see how to evaluate SSPL without discussions that are likely to end up far afield of the specifics of the license itself.</div><div><br></div><div>For me it's a bridge too far but there are potentially many licenses that meet the OSD and would be valuable to a part of the Open Source community that I would never likely want to use or advocate for. Also, if the assertion is that we should be evaluating SSPL adherence to the OSD based on a free software perspective vs an open source perspective then reviewers on this list should be made aware of that. Until then I will view submissions from an open source perspective.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 6:41 PM Simon Phipps <<a href="mailto:webmink@opensource.org">webmink@opensource.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">This list is called license-review.
