The proposal never asked for open source implementations.

Again, the proposal says the sorts of implementations that should be listed
are ones meeting this condition:

    The minimum rights that should be granted for this source code
    are the right to duplicate it for purpose of reading it and the
    right to execute it or generate the binary code to execute it.

That may allow some implementations that don't fit your definition of "open
source", 

Here's the beginning of the Open Source Definition:

"Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code."

So please stop labeling it as open source.  It is not and never was.

Anyway, I already said in other thread that there is a consensus
against this proposal, so no need to add more.
