This OSD thing is so terse and incomplete that it has lost my support, at least at the present;
I find this interesting. Does that mean you won't use software that has an OSD license? Or does that mean you won't put an OSD license on software you write? The latter would surprise me, as you also write:
and release all the software I author for my own use / pleasure under either it specifically, the LGPL, or the "Terms of Perl", which we must all be familiar with (which according to user choice may be exactly identical to the GPL, or may be different but still compatible with it -- the "Artistic License").
If there's one license that doesn't close all holes, and that's vague (and even on purpose!), it's the Artistic License. And even the construct "releasing under the terms of Perl" itself is vague and of a dubious nature.

Abigail, preferring a BSD, MIT, X or TeX style license.
