The OSI retains the privilege to decide which licenses meet the OSD in
our best judgement. Something that expires the next day isn't going
to pass, because it clearly opposes the OSD's intent.
This isn't at all the same as a provision that's irksome but true to
the ideal of openness, a la BSD's advertising or Apple's reporting.
