But could I do this in an OSD compliant license? I think I would have to 
move out of copyright law to do that, and I tried very hard to rework 
everything in my license (SPL) so that it would fit into copyright law
in an OSD compliant way. 

I'm loathe to give it up now :-) 

However I could if it were the only way.
