You frequently refer to the Open Source Initiative and OSI certification. Why isn the 1060 Public License OSI certified?

0

We have not yet requested certification of the 1060 Public License. We are not clear whether our usage term 1a, which states that a licensee can freely execute open source components but cannot execute closed source components unless certified by us, is in accordance with the OSI. Not to be OSI certified may look hypocritical but we are also a commercial concern with a business model that is expressed through our license. We would very much like to receive OSI certification since we believe our license is closely in spirit with the OSI.
