As if often the case with new licenses, I don't know if this is OSD complaint. As a non-lawyer, I had a question about how Conveying works in cases where it's impossible to make or source a component. 

 

 

I don’t follow how this matters. There are plenty of embedded devices where it is impossible (or at least very difficult) to convey source with binaries.  If there’s any use case where conveying source is impossible or difficult, then virtually every copyleft license would be OSD incompliant.
