It sets rules for data integrity, authorization, and redistribution of IP through a publicly accessible network. The license considers factors such as open data principles, copyrightability of AI/ML systems, data privacy, fair competition, and responsibility in AI/ML-driven decisions.

This license contains a definition of "Open Source" which is not based on the OSD. It seems highly unlikely that the OSI would approve a license containing a conflicting definition of this fundamental term.

Article 1 section b is somewhat poorly drafted, but in any case requires that a 'derivative work' comply with a third party's "Acceptable Usage Conditions". This is clearly not compatible with OSD 5 and 6, which disallow discrimination against person(s) or group(s), and against fields of endeavor. Article 5 is also incompatible with OSD 5 and 6.

Article 2.1 is not compatible with OSD 10; the license cannot dictate any specific technological mechanisms.
