The continuing debate on OSI v OASIS RAND licensing
A new set of claims and counter-claims was exchanged this week.

While earlier we heard that the two sides were working on jointly resolving these issues, seems like they have not moved closer yet. However the OASIS BOD elections due in June may open up some changes. Clearly this is going to be one of the issues for OASIS members in deciding the structure of the BOD for the next two years.
Unfortunately the "old guard" has managed to retain its BOD position, post June 24th election results. Therefore little change be forseen and the two parties remain as apart as before:
