They don't, that was the whole point I was making.

If you decided to interpret the Preamble of the GPL as strict legal text 
instead of as commentary, you **might** find things which were 
OSD-noncompliant ... but you might not.  But it doesn't matter, because 
the preamble is not legal text and specifically says that it's not.
