Do we want to promote stuff with such a defective license?

Their license (the "OSL") has a problem: it seems to prohibit anonymous distribution (e.g. by putting the code where anybody can FTP it). Do people enforce this provision? Probably not. So why invent a new license that has the problem? There are a zillion licenses out there claiming to be "free", but there's always some clown who thinks he/she needs to come up with the zillion-and-oneth.
I'll take this stuff seriously if, and when, it's GPL'd.
