Are implicit dual-licensing agreements inherently anti-open?

Ok, so is it safe to say the overall intent of the OVPL (to use a 
copyleft-like license for everyone but the initial developer) is "open" 
in an OSI sense, even if not "free" in a FSF sense?

If so, this still leaves the question of whether or not it's legally 
enforceable.  Has anyone any opinion on this?
