[OSGeo-Standards] Any OSGeo topics to discuss OGC Technical Meeting next week?

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Carl,
If I remember correctly, the issue was around incompatibility with the 
OSI definition of the license. [1]
Namely:
"3. Derived Works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow 
them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the 
original software."

I actually suggest that rather than creating a new license, make use of 
one of the already well known licenses.
That makes it much easier for organisations such as the Debian 
foundation to approve, as they can just confirm that you are using an 
already approved license, rather than drawing in the legal department to 
review.
