[License-review] For Approval: Convertible Free Software License, Version 1.1 (C-FSL v1.1)

[Kyle Mitchell]

Declaring approved licenses non-precedential would reject
the common-law mechanism by which US law develops, which you
describe.  That system relies on precedent, not just to
decide new cases that retread old, but also novel cases, by
analogy and abstracting out rules.

The alternative, civil-law approach would entail an active
process of OSD revision and supplementation, along the lines
McCoy proposes.

As it stands, OSI practices neither consistently.
