You've GOT to be kidding. Are people actually suggesting this??? OSI
has been sending out cease and desist letters. OSI has been
negotiating changes in web pages. OSI has been promoting the mark.
OSI gathered contributions for a logo, and is currently evaluating
them. OSI has been certifying licenses. And suddenly it's SPI's
mark? In my universe, those who do the work get to own it.
