There's a clause you seem to have overlooked, that I think makes it

3. A reasonable fee may be charged to copy this software. Any fee

distribution provided that no claim of ownership of this software
is made. However, no fee may be charged for the software itself.
Looks like a clause from the Artistic License, which has been judged
DFSG-free in the past:
5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software
distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter within
an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere
form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
interpreter is so embedded.
