This part of the terms made my alarm bells to turn on:
"
* No proprietary dependencies: your project
* must work on a completely free operating system. Find free
replacements for your non-free dependencies. Develop and test your Java
applications with IcedTea? (OpenJDK?), and your .Net ones with DotGNU (or other
free alternatives). See JavaIssues.
* Runs primarily on a free operating system. Proprietary platforms such
as Microsoft Windows should be considered as secondary targets, and cannot
provide additional features over the ports to free OSes.
"
Terms like these are not good for any open source software project. One of my
rules is to stay away from (groups of) people that exclude for no good reason.
