If you're referring to licenses that - at times intentionally - blur the definition between open source and proprietary, yes. It is not in favor of those licenses.

The implicit argument that these licenses singularly benefit SaaS is much more nuanced than is implied above, however, in that some licenses actively discourage SaaS (e.g. AGPL) and other open source projects (e.g. Postgres) have actively benefitted from SaaS (or more accurately DBaaS).
