Other changes may be in the offing. The OSD says nothing about use licenses or patents, for example. A use license is largely unenforcable by itself. Some parties have tried to enforce a use license by requiring the non-removal of certain parts of the code. This is, in itself, already prohibited by the OSD, however it's best not to rely on indirection to keep use licenses off Open Source software.
Patents are a problem that have been anticipated by some licensors.
In part the furor over the APSL 1.0 was produced because they reserved the right to revoke the license if it turned out that they were licensing software patented by someone else. A number of new licenses have specifically included terms that require contributors to license any applicable patents. And yet the OSD does not require this. And you certainly shouldn't allow someone to sue any contributor over patent infringement and still have a license to use the software. The following comments are owned by whoever posted them.
