The advertisement clause was a problem I had. Another problem was that I did not get where the termination of the two clauses came from that prohibit the distribution for commercial purposes. I googled for it and also found it with the ANL site http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/openpbs/PBS_License.txt from which I interpret that the termination can be trusted. > I insist that we shouldn't drop this to non-free without an official > ftp-master > statement, be it an IRC comment, a reply to a mail discussing the topic, or > via a REJECT message. There is some old thread about it http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg22673.html which ends with no real conclusion. One can probably argue that the license can be interpreted in a DFSG compatible manner. Once having reached that state, I can indeed follow you in your suggestion to upload as DFSG compatible.
