Yeeech. What a monster. It's not DFSG-free.

"labels or other notices"? What the heck does THAT mean? If it's restricted
to accurate legal notices, it's fine; if not, it's not.

Not DFSG-free. See the FAQ.

Way too overbroad. Must be restricted, at the very least, to suits claiming

I could have missed other problems. :-/
It seems to be freely distributable, and hence acceptable in non-free.
