the Open Source Initiative is going to "open a can of whup ass on any vendors that claim to be open source despite not actually using a license approved by the OSI". In a blog post OSI president Michael Tiemann wrote: "Enough is enough. Open Source has grown up. Now it is time for us to stand up. I believe that when we do, the vendors who ignore our norms will suddenly recognize that they really do need to make a choice: to label their software correctly and honestly, or to license it with an OSI-approved license that matches their open source label."
