Obviously, you could not claim specifically that, but you could claim 
the program was distributed under OSI-certified licenses, and thus in 
whole is OSI-certified.  When you distribute all three licenses as one, 
it is not clear which role each plays; this is even more complex if 
another company tries to use the Collective License.
