That only goes to show that the OSI has finally lost every last bit of

That's not a free license. In fact, it's about as non-free as you can
get, since it's essentially all rights reserved; there's no
permission to modify or redistribute at all. We can't distribute this,
even in non-free.

Thanks for pointing this out. Now we have a concrete example of just
how screwed up OSI is. That licence does not grant any permission to
modify, redistribute, or otherwise deal in the work in a Free manner.
For it to be judged as satisfying the Open Source Definition is
ludicrous.
