i agree with you there - however I feel that this could be further diluted to cover the case of scilab.
What is it that you feel can be diluted? If you are referring to the definition of OSS, then diluting that definition is not your call.
i can ask - and am asking
You don't get a change in the definition for a specific software or license -- or, to put it another way, this has not been done, ever. What the OSI does is try and determine if a license meets the requirements of the unchanged definition, or not.
In this case, it is pretty clear that the license does not meet the definition -- and that is pretty much that.
