True enough, but the clause kills the license anyway.  What it says
is:

If you commercially distribute the book, it must be as part of a
DFSG-free aggregate.

However, clause one of the DFSG requires that it be permissible to add
it to *any* aggregate, whether the aggregate is DFSG-free or not.

For example, a DFSG-free thing can be added to Sun's Solaris CDs.  The
O'Reilly manuals cannot.
