The OSD does not cover proprietary binaries created from open source
sources that permit the creation of such binaries.  The binaries will
clearly not be OSD compliant, but that doesn't mean the source isn't.

In practice the recipient of the proprietary binary will still need
sight of some licence document, to confirm that their copy is legitimate.

Use the BSD licence.
