Perhaps put a visible text at the top of the page stating that the document is
under discussion and not yet an official OSGeo policy should be sufficient ?

I agree with Cameron that your text covers well the "how to be a good Open
Source users", and perhaps the "why", that is addressed by the "Good practice
for organisations using OSGeo software" paragraph, could be more expanded, but
that's not easy. But I think that OSGeo is not fundamentaly different from other
open source organizations, so perhaps we could reuse good ideas found elsewhere
?
