      So where
    in the OSD, or in the GPL, do we make it clear that potentially
    burdensome license requirements (however those are defined) are not
    allowed?

I recommend you allow them but deprecate them.  That is what we do.
We always did recognize the old BSD license as a free software
license, but we said people should avoid it because of its annoying
practical consequences.
