Thanks very much for doing this, Jack.

Since the Guix project has committed to follow the GNU FSDG, the
relevant question here is whether the license is a "free software"
license, and that's a question for the FSF, not the OSI.

The OSI is only qualified to answer a different question: whether a
license is an "open source" license.  That question is not relevant for
our purposes.

Anyway, thanks again for your diligence here.

     Regards,
       Mark
