<div dir="auto">Lots of people just seem a bit passive aggressive on the nature of this subject. OSI is a non-profit business entity. It is within the board's legal right to reject a license even if it complies with OSD. I know that. I feel like this new variation is compliant, and haven't got enough feedback as to why it is not. However, I'm okay w/ moving this to license-discuss if you find that as a more fit medium to seek feedback in regards to the revised version.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Dec 28, 2020, 6:31 PM Joshua R.
