#2 (OSD#6 and OSD#10 probably, and Debian’s desert island test)
which is an undue burden anyway

#3 (doesn’t belong into a licence; “just” is subjective; requires
a “community” which fails for the same reasons as #2 does) and
perhaps OSD#4

#4, #5, #6 (also OSD#5, OSD#6, OSD#10, and undue restrictions on
both creators and users)

#7 (a request is fine but it may not be part of a licence) is
worded in a way that may be interpreted as conflicting with OSD#1
