It also violates OSD clause 6 as it would prevent use in the plinth industry. There are also difficulties concerning dependence on contact information being up-to-date such that freedoms would cease to be available in the event <OWNER> becomes uncontactable.

Don't forget Clause 4 Subclause 2 ("two (2) or more persons affiliated
with the entity" which also violates OSD clause 5 by discriminating
against independent, unaffiliated developers (which may be a first for a
 license submission...).
