I'm very happy on this point - the only reason for including the OSI
licenses was for API usage and easy of bulk download (these features were
used in various OKF projects but I think the use of licenses part is
reduced - if SPDX provided a simple API that would be great of course!)

So, unless anyone objects, we have an agreement to remove OSI licenses from
the licenses repo and API.
