I agree. Currently section 5 and 6 are vague (in particular the term "field of endeavor") and imho an ethical licenses could be written that complied with the OSD. 

 


Field of Endeavor is a pretty well established term in the law.  See, inter alia, In Re Richard M. Deminski, 796 F.2d 436 (Fed. Cir. 1986).


If there’s an ethical license that satisfies the OSD (particularly 5 & 6), I have yet to see one.
