   It would be a question of mine what the OSI board expects to change 
about the license. Sure, I can hire a lawyer to make the wording of the 
license juridically waterproof (I have already received an offer to get 
this done). However as there have been also objections about the 
original set of authors retaining the right to re-license and about 
providing personal information I am not sure whether this would really 
be worth doing as these two issues are unlikely to change. They are 
meant as obligation of the authors to exercise their responsibility 
about the created product.
   Any information about the outcome of the board meeting would thus be 
of a high value to me.
