That's pretty good news.
Also, I tangent and mention that I have been won over WRT OSL: with its
more tight "lawyerspeak" and mutual patent defense clauses, I consider
OSL to be a "better GPL" license.
I would in fact love to see the Linux kernel relicensed under OSL. I
think that would close some "holes" that exist with the GPL, and give us
a better legal standing. But relicensing the kernel would be huge
political undertaking, and I sure as hell don't have the energy, even if
it possible. No idea if Linus, Alan, Andrew, or any of the other major
contributors would go for it, either.
