> OSI has always existed to shift the conversation from talking about freedoms and rights in the digital era to about software quality.

If you take a look at their internal license discussion mailing list, the majority of the time the members are talking about the freedoms and rights of various licenses and proposals.

Discussion archives are here if that's useful:
