Hi everyone,

The OSI is looking for feedback from the community about an important
change to the OSI-Approved licenses listed on our website.

We've standardized OSI license URLs using SPDX identifiers, while carefully
preserving compatibility with the many links that already exist across the
web and tools.

The full set of OSI-approved licenses continues to be available at:

https://opensource.org/licenses

More details about the update is available here:

https://opensource.org/blog/osi-adopts-spdx-ids-for-license-urls

If you spot any broken links or odd behaviour, please let us know.

Feel free to reach out to us by replying to this mailing list or by
commenting here:

Thanks,
Nick
