In theory, it might be usefull, but there is a significant difference
between the OSD and the DFSG: the OSD is a definition, whereas the
DFSG is a guideline. This has poses interesting aspects for how we
interpret licenses like the GFDL, OSL, and others.
See

for the most recent thread on OSD and DFSG "convergence".
