{shrug} 'Harm' is whatever the observer doesn't like, nei? ;->
As with all licensing, the licence is a tool aimed at some particular
effect that the licensor is aiming to achieve. Licensors who want to
permit particular types of derivative works will probably[1] grant the
right to do so, with or without OSI (or my, or your) urging. Licensors
who are unwilling -- and my recollection is that many are unwilling --
won't.
[1] Or maybe not. Couldn't hurt to remind drafters of new licences
of the possibility, I guess.
