1. Whether or not the OSI has a trademark doesn't seem relevant to me, they coined a term which wasn't used before and associated it with a well known definition. The distinction seems more significant than fine to me and causes confusion about what kind of license I (and others, as evidenced by the open issue on the subject) expect the software to be under. That a subject is source of disagreement is certainly not a valid reason not to discuss it.
2. I'm very aware of the efforts of free or open source software authors and I'm grateful for them. In fact, I occasionally take time to thank them and make donations to them (although I should do it more). This doesn't mean that inaccurate statements should not be corrected and I don't see anything `belligerent` about reporting them, as would be the case for reporting a bug.
3. You're right on this, I wrongfully assumed one of the person answering in the issue was the author. I changed my comment.
