This doesn't satisfy DFSG. Clause 1(b) prohibits commercial use --
this conflicts with paragraph 6 of the DFSG.
I didn't read any further.
[Yes, I'm aware that in some jurisdictions a clause about use doesn't
apply -- that a person could obtain a legal copy for non-commercial use,
then later on start using it for commercial purposes. I believe that
clauses such as ITP's 1(b) still conflict with para 6 of DFSG because
I don't know that this mechanism applies in all jurisdictions, and the
clause would still restrict people who intended to use the software for
commercial purposes from the start.]
