Maybe, but specific clauses like this clearly violate OSD #3 and #5
(#3: if your downstream “A” is a “public distribution” and A’s
downstream “B” isn’t, B cannot distribute them under the same terms
as it got them from A under).
Well we could crop out this special facilitation but that would make
the license less fit for practical purposes. I do not want to sacrifice
practical fitness towards perfectly strict OSI compliance.
To be clear, not satisfying OSD 3 & 5 (DFSG 3 and 5 as well) this will
*NOT* be fit for Debian main. You're free to try to get it into
non-free.

Concerning OSD conformance please see for the discussion at http://projects.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss/2013-November/001358.html.

#3: It does clearly allow derived works; shielding of copyright notices does not contradict this. #5: Additional facilitation in certain use cases does not discriminate against people or groups of people.
       Please do also read the argumentation at license-discuss about it.

Thanks!
Elmar
