Sorry for lag, I've been on vacation.

This is the first I've heard about it :) I'm happy to raise the issue
with the board and with the licensing mailing lists. [I'm a board
member and chair of the relevant committee, so I make sense to be the
conduit- no need to go to Simon.]

I'm not sure it makes sense for OSI to "adopt" OKD, as OSI doesn't (in
my experience) have any mechanism or reason to *apply* the OKD, which
(to me) is implied by adoption.

But perhaps something like a formal endorsement ("OSI supports and
endorses use of the OKD when evaluating the openness of data...") and
a link from the OSI website? Other suggestions about what adoption
might mean/imply welcome, of course.
