So maybe we should wait for Larry Rosen to read and answer? Precision: the module itself would not be distributed with the PrestaShop installer. It would be available as an optional module, that users would download and install afterward.
Of course, if the module is obfuscated, it is not open source. However, would it be possible to install it and run it with the core of a software distributed under OSL? This is an interesting question regarding the "external deployment" clause: it seems that a visitor of a website built with PrestaShop can ask for the source code. Should we consider that as a way of distribution, and then, any module or theme used to build a website with PrestaShop should also be available under an OSL compatible license? If yes, this is not possible to add an obfuscated extension/module to a running OSL software. What do you think? The point here is not only the distribution/download, but also the execution of the software.
