Yep. Just to be crystal clear, I agree license-discuss is
the wrong
forum to
discuss the particulars of GPLv3. The right forums are the
extensive
on-line comment sites FSF has set up, and/or the in-person
seminars
FSF is organizing in multiple locales. My question is
whether
OSI should ever take the initiative (sorry) to certify a
license whose
steward might not be motivated to submit it. Presumably,
that could
not happen until said license is in final or near-final
form.

I was actually thinking more of building bridges than
burning them.
