Eric S. Raymond writes on his blog: "There's been a lot of debate in the community about how OSI should properly handle Microsoft's planned submission of some of its licenses for OSD certification. That debate has been been going on within OSI, too. OSI's official position, from the beginning, which I helped formulate and have expressed to any number of reporters and analysts, is that OSI will treat any licenses submitted to Microsoft strictly on their merits, without fear or favor. That remains OSI's position. But I find that my resolve is being sorely tested."

"I really, really wish that Molly would answer one way or the other on this. Either she is Molly Cieslinski, or she is not. I've asked directly. No response.
Either her job, and the reason she receives paychecks, is to promote Microsoft... or it is not.
Now I'm asking point blank. Is it? Or isn't it.
If I am in error, I apologize in advance.
I'm serious. Are you. Or are you not? "
----------------------
I'm sorry, sbergman27, I missed all of this "Molly Cielinski" stuff until today. I assume it was posted in threads that I had "quit", or maybe I just missed it.
See my denial here (both beginning and end of the post):

But I might owe archiesteel an apology, as I've been having a bit of fun on this matter at his expense, as I assumed it was he who started this thing (it would fit with his pattern, as he has a long history of "shill" accusations, so it wouldn't surprise me if he went so far as to try to prove such a thing). So can you tell me who begat the "Molly Cieslinski" accusations? Was it he, or was it you, or someone else? (Please say it was archiesteel! 
)
I'm sorry if I'm being too jocular and/or glib. I just find the whole thing tremendously funny! 
But that's it! I don't want to derail the thread any further. Good thing we don't still have karma points, all of these off-topic posts would hurt me big-time!

) I made the allegation first, and I've been waiting for a denial ever since. Now that you've officially denied being *that* MollyC, I won't make it again (though in my mind you still act like a pro-MS PR hack).

Well, Ms. Cieslinski, the difference is that I'm not employed by a PR company that counts MS as one of its clients.
