Nearly every licence proposed here, unless it is pure vanity, is trying
to find something fuzzy in the boundaries of the OSD and interpreting it
in the licensor's favour.

Almost always this involves imposing effective restrictions on for profit
use, either all for profit use, or all for profit use except by the
licensor.
