It clearly says: "Copyright" at the front of this line ending in all
rights reserved.
If this sentence would stand alone, this would mean "non-free" as
"all rights reserved" includes redistribution and modification (and some
other things), so you would have to ask BIZNET what their conditions are.
It really depends on what the DFSG license says (modifications to GPL
have to be placed under GPL, that´s what makes GPL kind of a _good natured_
virus).
