Whose interests does OSI want to represent? Those of developers, or those who want to use other's work? What's gained by advocating Free and Open Source as if it were a goal in itself, and dismiss other licenses as not "OSI- approved"?

The same that is gained by not selling cat meat labelled as hare. Clear concepts protect everyone, both developers and users. Muddling them only helps scammers. New models are great - as long as it's clear that they're new.
