The things that make it not OSI compliant are: 1) an application with more than 700 million monthly active users (i.e. Google, Bing, Amazon, and Apple) require getting a licence 2) some moral restrictions (like criminal acts)

In Canada, sure. But in some countries, calling the Special Military Operation a war, or conducting a protest using umbrellas is a jail-worthy crime. The problem with moral restrictions is that said morals are an ever-moving target. So no, that is not something OK. There's a good reason that FSF Freedom Zero disallows such arbitrariness. - Evan
