Fails WP:NSOFT: I could not find much coverage other than trivial mentions. The best coverage is a tiny 1-2 paragraphs on page 21 of this source. According to GScholar, this paywalled source also mentions it but I don't have reason to believe it's SIGCOV. This article was deproded. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 08:17, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Me neither. The Law Practice magazine article does not appear to be in-depth. I checked under the old osscd name from earlier versions of the article and the apparent new name. It's just not documented outwith its own WWW site offering a DVD image. and some "version N+1 is out!" announcements. Moreover, successive versions of this article track how that WWW site has moved around as hosting has vanished, so even that has been ephemeral. Delete.
