Hello!
From the license text:
"The Floodgap Free Software License (FFSL) has one overriding
mandate: that software using it, or derivative works based on
software that uses it, must be free. By free we mean simply
'free as in beer' -- you may put your work into open or
closed source packages as you see fit, whether or not you
choose to release your changes or updates publicly, but you
must not ask any fee for it."
This means you can't charge for redistributing TTYtter, thus it
isn't Free Software (think of "free speech", not "free beer").[1]
