It's not, officially.  It's a list for discussing whether licenses meet
the Open Source Definition and whether they should be approved.  Now,
we're all guilty of being off-topic at times, but we try to keep it to a
minimum.  Alex seems to be here specifically to criticize the FSF.

Alex's topic is not MS-PL/GPL compatibility.  Alex's topic is how he
thinks the FSF's interpretation of what derivative works are likely to
be is wrong.
