OCLC Research Public License done - fails.  Incorporates a potentially
useful technique for dealing with "source code" versus "binary"
distributions.  Rather than using those terms, this license speaks in terms
of distributions which and end-user can modify (source code) or cannot
modify (object code).

The one blatent failure is that this license requires an attribution in or
with binary distributions.

Open Software License done - fails.  This license requires that all
derivative works must also use this license.
