This doesn't satisfy DFSG. Clause 1(b) prohibits commercial use -- this conflicts with paragraph 6 of the DFSG. I didn't read any further. [Yes, I'm aware that in some jurisdictions a clause about use doesn't apply -- that a person could obtain a legal copy for non-commercial use, then later on start using it for commercial purposes. I believe that clauses such as ITP's 1(b) still conflict with para 6 of DFSG because I don't know that this mechanism applies in all jurisdictions, and the clause would still restrict people who intended to use the software for commercial purposes from the start.] -- Raul
