You have to register on their site to do it. I'm registered to enough sites, thank you.

The same OSI who tried to trademark the term "Open Source" so that only they could approve projects to be OSS that only use one of THEIR licenses.  And then wanted to reduce the number of Open Source licenses.

Sound like great dudes.

No, we're not the same organization.  Are you thinking of the Open Source Initiative?
