> OSI was specifically created to subvert freedoms that the Free Software Foundation protects
This is one of those spots where knowledgeable people can disagree, because they're working with a different set of values.
To someone who prefers the Free Software model, OSI was created to subvert freedoms that the FSF wants to preserve. To someone who prefers the Open Source model, OSI preserves freedoms that the FSF is trying to restrict.
To the other 99% of humanity, this particular debate probably sounds a whole lot like the Judean People's Front vs. the People's Front of Judea.
