STAR::Parser license quesiton
Hello All:
I have encountered the following license in a Perl package:
------------------------

Permission to use, copy, modify and distribute any part of this PDB
software for educational, research and non-profit purposes, without fee,
and without a written agreement is hereby granted, provided that the above

-----------------------
Am I correct in presuming that paragraph #2 makes this only eligible for
non-free? If not, what kind of license is this?
Please cc me as I am not subscribed.
Thanks
Carlo
