So much for them supporting OSI. This is a clear declaration of independence, not to say hostility towards the many communities using weak copyleft.

Giving Amazon's new store a try - these look ideal, having them sent to my hotel in DC for this week.

Speaking for myself, I would really like to see someone come up with comfortable sandals for those of us with severe overpronation (that's hifalutin' for "collapsed arches"). For some reason I don't find Birkenstocks to be that comfortable, and Mephistos (which are supposed to have a lot of support) don't have enough. And oh yeah, size 15 (American style) wouldn't hurt.
But I'm on vacation, so I'll shut up now :-)

@Robert: That's actually why I love my Tevas - I live in them during the summer, and I'm hopeful that new pair will last me a long way through autumn too.
@Dave: If Google is going to start dictating license choices to communities, it would be better to force a license like MPL or CDDL that addresses patents than LGPL which doesn't. But more than that, if licenses are the constitution for communities like Moglen says, this act of telling some communities they don't count as open source is patronizing and colonialist. And that's OSI's job :-)
