<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">There's another related practical question: what would be the published
*output* of OSAID-related reviews?
For traditional license review, the output is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opensource.org/licenses">https://opensource.org/licenses</a> , i.e., a (tagged) list of licenses,
each pointing to the full license text. For OSAID, I'm hence assuming
(but would like to have confirmation) that it will be a list of "terms
of use".
One practical problem is that terms of use are less often properly
versioned than licenses, so we will probably need to both self-host
(which we already do) and possibly self-version (which would be new).
Or maybe insist that submitters properly version terms of use as a
pre-condition for evaluation.</pre>

<p>This seems like a minor issue. There might literally be terms of
use (as in a data use agreement), but as multiple areas of law are
involved, multiple types of terms in multiple types of instruments
may arise. OSAID therefore just refers to "an AI system made
available under terms and in a way that grant the freedoms to". So
perhaps "terms of availability" but really just "terms". Perhaps
hosted at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opensource.org/aiterms">https://opensource.org/aiterms</a> .<br>

<p>Anything that OSI approves will presumably be posted on the OSI
website. The likely standard is the one already used for <a
href="https://opensource.org/licenses/review-process">this list</a>:<br>
</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite">Provide a <strong>unique name</strong>
for the license, preferably including the version number.</blockquote>
</p>
<p>I suspect that in pretty short order, someone who gets a version
of AI system terms with a unique name approved by OSI, and then
publishes modified terms under the same name and claiming OSI
approval will receive a polite letter from OSI.<br>
