   Hmm, the usual phrase is "without fee".  And it's not placed right
   after "distribute".  I think this instance does refer to distribution.
   "Distribute without charge" is a normal phrase, as is "License without
   fee".  Switch them around and it's not so normal anymore.

You have a point.  I withdraw my argument.  The upstream author should
be asked for clarification.
