I get that but OSI started in 1998 and there were only a few.

OSI has reviewed and approved 100 or more licenses. My point still stands - do we really have that many gaps or unique requirements?



OSI approved a bunch of pre-existing licenses when it was still establishing itself -- that is, they did not require a "gap" to exist at that time, so your question is based on a flaw premise.

For quite a long time now, they've been trying to get people to use the already-approved ones.

That’s not true - OSI has approved about 85 and assumed the rest.

They may now want to slow or stop new licenses but that wasn’t the case.

My point still stands.
