You've received several replies, and I think everyone who has replied is pretty much on the same page; the license is worded the same as other DFSG-free licenses in use, but to avoid a University of Washington situation, it would be wise to get clarification from the copyright holder on one ambiguous construction. However, given that existing precedent holds that this license is worded and interpreted by licensors in a DFSG-free manner, I would say it's safe to upload to main until and unless the copyright holder elects to apply an uncommon interpretation of the license terms. If that turns out to be the case, the package could be moved to the non-free section. Please see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200303/msg00134.html -- G.
