I think that OSD #3 does exactly that.  "The license must allow
modifications and derived works [...]"  A license that even conditionally
forbids those activities is not, on my reading, an open source license.

"The exception proves the rule."  Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample
proves
my theory."  Latin students think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception
puts
the rule to the proof."  But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an
exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted
from."
