OSI procedures - a study in quotes
I've heard of exactly two of those people (Eric and Russ), and I already
know what both of them have to say because I've read their previous
writings on this issue. Plus on some things I already know I disagree
with them: Eric's anti-GPL stance, and Russ's belief that a closed process
to choose open licenses somehow avoids being a contradiction in terms.
The rest of the committee is people I've never even heard of. And I've
heard of plenty of lawyers. (Neither Lawrence Lessig nor Eben Moglen are
on the 'over-lawyered' list. As for legal perspectives I'd trust from
non-lawyers, why isn't Pamela Jones of Groklaw on there?)
Why on earth should I (or anyone) care about what comes out of this
committee? (Since when does open source work by committee, anyway?)
