Is this DFSG-free ?



Dear fellows,

Is the following DFSG-free?  It is the license of the "Standard ML of New
Jersey" system.  It does not discrimate commercial uses but it *does* worry
me that there is a requirement of only distributing "without fee" ...

Here is the license, comments appreciated!
