Just as an intuition pump for this:

If someone submitted a license to us saying "You can license this software
under the terms of the GPLv3 or later.  If you don't like those terms, you
can pay the copyright owners $10,000 and then section 5c does not apply
to you", I think we'd have to concede that was an open-source license.
(OSI might not approve it on other grounds, to be sure.)
