Join the club, Scott.  I submitted a license months ago and haven't 
heard a thing.  Others have had similar experiences as well.  In 
fact, I don't think any new licenses have been approved under the 
certification program.

It is unfortunate that the powers that be @ opensource.org only seem 
to be interested in gaining the support of large corporations and 
those who decide to just use an existing license...  I hope that's 
not actually the case, but it doesn't look good.
