Can you elaborate as to specifically which parts of the OSD it
conflicts with, and how?

OK, could you look at the Simplistic Compatibility License I sent out?
Note that the intent here is to allow creation of arbitrary (including
incompatible) derivative works, and to allow distribution of them
under the same license (OSD#3), with the license restricting that
which gets distributed to being in source form. Item #2 is simply
an "out" to enable distribution of certain derivative works under
other terms.
