Artistic v1 is OSI approved (has been for a long time). They don't put it on the main page because we're encouraging people to upgrade to v2. Perl 5 and all of CPAN still use v1, and aren't likely to change anytime soon. Speaking with my "Perl Foundation Director" hat on, we'd appreciate if you didn't send out an email message asking them to stop using v1.

Renaming "Artistic License" to "Artistic License 1.0" (keeping the same enum), and adding "Artistic License 2.0" makes sense. You'll get a lot of complaints if you drop v1 from the selection widget.
