OSI was prompt to recognise the EUPL as “OSI approved license”. It was done as from the EUPL 1.1  and confirmed in 2017 for the EUPL 1.2.

OSI revamped their license list (https://opensource.org/licenses/), presenting now 9 possible “categories” (or license metadata - that could be applied to a license to describe it).

OSI classifies the EUPL in their first category “INTERNATIONAL”. However, the meaning of it looks still unclear for many. Does it mean that this is the group of licenses that are not “born in the USA” and having at least one version that is not written in English?

Another issue is that only ONE metadata is allowed per license: since the EUPL is categorized as “INTERNATIONAL” it cannot be categorized anymore as “POPULAR / STRONG COMMUNITY.  Is this reasonable?

What could we recommend to OSI? 
Why not adopting the Joinup JLA tool software (which is open source and for free on GitHub) where no less than 41 content significant categories (under six main sections) can be freely adapted and combined?
