OSI submission

Does anyone have an opinion on whether copyleft-next (presumably the most recent numbered release) should be submitted for OSI approval? I had given a little thought to the idea in the past, but while I was on the OSI board (2013-2019) I considered it to be inappropriate. Richard

HBR cure (3 February 2020)
by Richard Fontana 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

I had some informal discussions relating to copyleft-next in Brussels around the time of FOSDEM, potentially triggering the need for an HBR cure. For reference, the relevant part of HBR [0] says: "Except in extraordinary cases, private telephone calls, private teleconferences, private in-person meetings, and private email communications shall not be used to discuss *substantive* development of this project. Should such private communications nevertheless occur, participants in such communications are expected to publish summaries of any relevant discussions in a manner or medium accessible to the general net public." I can only really remember one discussion I'd consider possibly substantive, which took place in a noisy bar following CopyleftConf on Monday 3 February. This was a conversation with bkuhn and a few other individuals whose names unfortunately escape me or which I did not know to begin with. This was basically a continuation of the discussion bkuhn had started some time ago on this mailing list, pointing out some potential flaws in the current implementation of what some are now calling a copyleft equality clause. I'm not sure any truly new ideas or problems were brought up in this conversation. Perhaps bkuhn or, if they are on this list, any of the other participants in this conversation can remember more.
