Please, for the sake of clarity, do not refer to examples of (plainly)
non-OSD-compliant licensing as "open source'.  The "Conditions of Use of
SDC Artifacts v. 2" licence linked from the above URL _very_ obviously
transgresses OSD clause #6.

No, it's fundamentally not open source at all.

It may be a fine and useful licence for particular objectives, but
please don't call it open source, as it's not that.
