Toba license: free/GPL compatible?



Dear debian-legal eagles,

Can I ask for your opinion on the following license, used for the Toba 
Java-to-C translator?  When read in plain English, it is certainly DFSG-free
and GPL-compatible.  However, is the language sufficiently clear on the issue 
of distributing modified copies, or is there a potential "Pine problem" here?

Thanks very much,

-- Fred Gray
