One the face of it, Section III, "Distribution Restrictions and Obligations."
of your license fails to comply with OSD #1 & 2:
"1. Free Redistribution
The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the
software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing
programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a
royalty or other fee for such sale.
2. Source Code
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source
code as well as compiled form...."
