OSD and DFSG Convergence. Russell Nelson [43]contacted Debian to
explore convergence between the [44]Open Source Definition (OSD), and
the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). The [45]Open Source
Initiative (OSI) is interested in mending differences in the
community, so that we can stand together. Even though the OSD was
originally the DFSG, it was changed in the meantime and OSI even
approved a license that requires click-wrap. However, this [46]places
a restriction on modification, [47]failing DFSG paragraph 3.
