(a) You must ensure that End Users do not make modifications or permit a third 
party to make modifications to the Software. 
 
 (b) You must not grant or purport to grant a sub-licence or any rights in 
respect of the Software to any person.

Even wearing the pinkest of glasses and the thickest coat of  naive friendship 
I cannot say that these license statements are in any way even remotely 
compatible with the original GPL.

In fact, the license looks like some obscenity straight out of Microsoft's 
book.

Andrew, I think it is high  time for either some upfront honesty or to get rid 
of confusing nonsense, whichever it is.

If Argus is not free software (in the spirit of the GPL or any other OSF 
approved license), just say so.
Else, please clarify how what David points out has come into existence and why 
it would not be legally binding?
