Hi Simon,
OSL is an open-source license, and it should not prevent you from building open source tools on top of that.
OSL has actually a lot more focus on the "open source" part than other licenses you mentioned, as it makes much greater emphasis on making the source code of your modifications published as open-source code compared to other open source licenses.
And if you ever decide to convert your tools/plugins into a closed-source commercial product, then feel free to reach to our sales team as an OroCRM enterprise license is available as well (at a price).
Thank you,
Michael

It makes a greater emphasis on modifications being published as open source than the GPL or the AGPL? That's interesting. I'd be keen to know more about that.

Does that mean that the GNU license documentation that I linked above is wrong in this case? I copied it below for reference:
The Open Software License is a free software license. It is incompatible with the GNU GPL in several ways.
Recent versions of the Open Software License have a term which requires distributors to try to obtain explicit assent to the license. This means that distributing OSL software on ordinary FTP sites, sending patches to ordinary mailing lists, or storing the software in an ordinary version control system, is arguably a violation of the license and would subject you to possible termination of the license. Thus, the Open Software License makes it very difficult to develop software using the ordinary tools of free software development. For this reason, and because it is incompatible with the GPL, we recommend that no version of the OSL be used for any software.
We urge you not to use the Open Software License for software you write. However, there is no reason to avoid running programs that have been released under this license.
