First, I'd like to know what one would call "Alive".

Like you said, Ozpin is voyeuring on Oscar right now, definitely conscious.......at the same time however, he's being more of a passenger at the moment, and something must have happened to his body to force Ozpin to merge with Oscar without his consent.

Basically, he's kind-of the inverse of a vegetable person; Ozpin is physically dead, or at least that's the most likely possibility, but he's also spiritually alive, while a vegetable person is physically alive but mentally dead.

The result is, however, the same: Whether they count as alive or not is a technicality and up to opinion. Personally, Ozpin is only spiritually alive, making him no much different from a ghost right now. And I wouldn't call a ghost "alive".
