Currently section 5 and 6 are vague (in particular the term "field of endeavor") and imho an ethical licenses could be written that complied with the OSD. So, if after a thorough and good faith effort, a working group, representative of the community at large, came to the conclusion that ethical licenses weren't implementable, it should probably suggest to the board that the OSD be tightened so that the criteria used to certify licenses would correspond to what's actually in the OSD. --tobie
