Can you explain what about it makes it equivalent to proprietary? How is
this not sufficient: "Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use,
compile, sell, or distribute this software, either in source code form
or as a compiled binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial,
and by any means."

How would an EU court reach a conclusion about the use of the software
under this license that is contrary to the OSD?
