OSI Approves Three New Licenses

[1]Russ Nelson writes: "In our monthly board meeting this
past Wednesday, the [2]Open Source Initiative approved three
new licenses for use with OSI Certified Open Source Software:
the [3]W3C license, the [4]Motosoto license, and the [5]Open
Group Test Suite License. In other action, one license was
voted down because it violated the discrimination clause of
the [6]Open Source Definition. Another (the [7]RTSP) was
withdrawn because the license-discuss mailing list convinced
the submittor that it wasn't ready. And one (the [8]DSPL)
goes back to license-discuss because we disagree with their
analysis and want to re-negotiate it with them. Several
people have suggested that we post the licenses that we have
turned down, and explain just why they don't comply with the
Open Source Definition. We don't want to discourage people
from submitting licenses, knowing that their license might be
held up for public notice. We'd rather encourage people with
non-compliant licenses to fix them so they are compliant."
