OSI executive director here: The SSPL was retracted from review (it was years ago) as the discussion on a mailing list stalled and became unproductive. Read the original threads on the list, not just that blog post. Frankly, it was a low point for the organization, the board at the time recognized it and that triggered a structural change[0], too.
We've been thinking about how we'd discuss large and controversial licenses in a productive way. We're learning how to drive large, productive, difficult conversations with the process towards the Open Source AI Definition[1] and we hope (soon) to be able to transfer that knowledge to other pressing issues, like complex licenses.
