compatibility and the OSD

I'm well aware of SISSL. I'm trying to understand the bounds
of the OSD with respect to compatibility, and SISSL doesn't
push very far towards the bounds.

I'm not particularly interested in whether people like the form
of the license or not, since I have no intent to actually use
such a license. I understand that the cultural aspects of a
license choice are equally important, but here I'm only trying
to understand the definitional boundaries of the OSD.
