Note that it's quite acceptable for the license to require the derived work be clearly *identified* as different, to avoid confusion; such licenses as the GPL require this (GPLv2§2a) and result in free works. Where I think this license crosses the threshold is in restricting how the *work itself* may be modified and distributed, by restricting the namespace identifiers that can be used *in the code* for the derived work. -- \ “One seldom discovers a true believer that is worth knowing.” | `\ —Henry L.
