The goal of the OSI License Review Process is to ensure that licenses and software labeled as "open source" conforms to existing community norms and expectations. For that reason, all licenses must go through a public review process described below. The OSI Board is happy to consult with entities in advance to help them navigate the process and improve their license, but formal approval requires going through license-review.

Yes! After getting the initial round of feedback, I'll be submitting it to OSI, SPDX and the Github licensing gems and machinery. I think, in that order.

If you believe that all should have been done before publishing it — that's certainly one way to go. But I thought this order of operations is more in keeping with the open source spirit.

Also, for bonus points, getting it on the GNU list would be nice: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html
