For Approval: CeCILL (providing source)

[Francois Letellier]

Dear all,

To my knowledge, the English translation of this license is here: 
http://www.cecill.info/licences/Licence_CeCILL_V2-en.html, and is 
considered to have the same legal value as the original French text.

But I could not find a clear status of whether CECILL is OSI-approved or 
not, and why.

Thanks
