I'll try to find time to go back and read the license more carefully, but
it appears to me that the license is DFSG compliant.  They are just saying
that if you want to use the package in a non-free application you should
contact them and negotiate a different license.  This is true of any GPL
software: apt, for example. 

I don't see why gnucash needs such a thing, though.
