Hi Scott,
Here is where I see this conversation stalling (on this list that I
follow):

OGC staff have been watching the conversation and we have discussed internally how we might better meet the needs of this community.
I’ll get our license experts in touch with the FTP Masters this week.
We truly want to do whatever possible to ensure that OGC licensing is not a hurdle!
Thanks for your willingness to join the discussion with the Debian FTP
masters!
Please keep the OSGeo Standards and Debian GIS lists in the loop.
Kind Regards,
Bas
It sounds like it might be worth revisiting, and potentially drawing
upon relationships we have within OSGeo, UbuntuGIS and DebianGIS to
see if we can escalate.
I suspect Bas might be able to call on a favour or two, or we might
be able to call upon the OSGeo Board to reach out.
Who are the people within OGC to talk with about this?

Bas,
We never heard back from the Debian folks on issues
with OGC license terms. I would love to engage them, but admit
that I am at a loss as to how to progress!
Best Regards.

I'm hoping to bump into some of the OGC attendees while
in town. (In
particular there is a GeoRabble event I will be at).
It might also be a good chance to talk about any
OSGeo/OGC collaboration.
In particular, is the OGC interested in including the
TEAM certification
engine on OSGeo-Live? We have just kicked of the build
process for our next
release, and now would be an opportune time to discuss
including the
application.
Also, we have previously discussed integrating OGC
Standards documentation
with OSGeo-Live documentation. Is the development of
documentation of OGC
standards still progressing?
It might be a good chance to discuss that too.
If the OGC
documentation is licensed under the terms of the OGC
Document
Notice this is
problematic due to the non-free nature of the license.
I'd like to know
if OGC has been able to get in touch with the Debian
project to discuss
the issues with the OGC Document & Software notices.
There hasn't been
any public progress since this was last discussed on
this list ('OGC
XML schemas and FOSS4G software distribution' thread).
Kind Regards,
Bas
