Together with clarification of "commercial product" it might be free.
It must be possible, for example, to port the software to Windows
and sell media with copies of the port (with source and under the
original license) even though the port cannot be compiled under
Linux/BSD.
I.e., to make it free, "commercial product" must be defined such that
it does not include data media with free software, sold for profit.
It *would* be acceptable to say, for example, something like
5. In addition to the other rights granted by the license, you may
distribute derived works under a proprietary licence, PROVIDED
that you provide a version of the derived work that has identical
performance, ability and price and works under either Linux or
FreeBSD.
