Whether that was a good decision is > open to debate. It should be clear from my references that OSI does not have trademark "Open Source"; thus they were not able to "release" it. There is type of trademark called "community trademark" used for many people at once, members of specific group and unrelated to EU community trademark, but OSI did not move towards that direction. I find their legal behavior in trademarks rather self-centered. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
