Christian, the whole DW's community keep complaining about this since years.
It's one of the reasons why a few developers stopped uploading to the
Exchange and other (including me), carefully choose what to upload and what
not.

Last year I won an award for the best DW MX's extension, I was asked to
upload it to the Exchange, but I refused due to that crappy license:

Actually I have an improved version of the extension, but it's not going to
be on the Exchange unless you make significant changes to the license...
It's a shame, both for me and MM

I don't want to attack you or MM, usually I would avoid posting something
like this in a public forum, but we started complaining the first week the
Exchange was launched, 3 years later nothing as changed... Instead you are
extending the license to the CF Exchange as well!

Again, I don't want to attack anybody, I just think the community at large
deserve to know some background info

Best
