I discussed this topic (from the angle of TCs being able to actively
advertise their work as being licensed in an "open source compatible"
way) in a previous email to this list [1] (with additional discussion in
[2]).

In short, I think this topic needs active attention by OASIS, and I know
that at least one OASIS board member understands my passion about this
topic.
