Joe,

Mitch Kapor?

Wow!

I mIssed his key note at the last OASIS bash - no budget to get there...

Anyway - I'm sure Mitch can give you more insights.  I've also been on the

alot about the OSI process there.

The gap analysis between the OSI licenses and the OASIS "RF" license has
been pretty well documented.

And just now Google turned up this KILLER article this week!!!

Wonderfull stuff!!!  Clearly I'm wanting Dave's Gold measure here - not his
"off-yellow" colour!!!
