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."

You mean deliberately delay the OSI approval? Actually that's not such a bad idea. They are not saying the license is valid or not, they simply move it down their (understandably busy) calendar.
Meanwhile, they can criticize MS for their abuse of the ISO certification process, in essence suggesting that as long as MS aggressively push OOXML, they will passively push the approval...
