This doesn't look like a free license to me, but their site says
"open-source", so I'd be interested in what the OSI thinks of it, or if
DFSG accepts it.

These conversations are better for a list that specializes in licenses
(debian-legal for instance), since you'll get a much better analysis
from them.
