Agreed. Better to change it now, early on, before people get accustomed to
the name as it is.

Perhaps OSI could create a mailing list for discussion of "best practice"
towards achieving open source models in companies? Something where the
"non-specific-license" issues could be discussed, possibly making the job
easier for the denizens of license-review by simplifying the "license
creation" process, and making it a little more cookie-cutter than it is now.
