Dear all,
I’ve stumbled upon CUA-OPL-1.0 lately and found it to be
essentially a rebranded MPL-1.1 with some stylistic changes
(different style of bullet points) and a different name. Even
Exhibit A is in both cases the same.
It seems the CUA Office project lead has already in 2008 requested
that OSI retire CUA-OPL-1.0, but it seems there was no follow-up
on this:
http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2008-April/000201.html
It seems to me that after a decade after the (only?) project to
use it, it would be high time to retire this license to avoid
confusion with MPL-1.1.
Or is there any good reason to keep it?
I have also requested to pull it from SPDX:

cheers,
Matija Šuklje
