We all know open source, including the OSD, is flawed. Does it really matter to argue about this? Other than that, I haven't seen this option of the GPL used. I worry more about the Debian Free Software Guidelines, but that's also known to be flawed (in relation with the GNU FDL). And at least they call it guidelines instead of definition.
No, it's not. DFSG is perfect, it's GFDL what is flawed.
No, the first flaw of the DFSG is that it only goes about software and not about documentation.
GFDL with "invariant sections" or some "front/back cover" things is proprietary license.
It isn't, it only takes away freedoms you can't do anything useful with and is generally only abused. The same does the GPL.
