Hm, who is to define "nominal fee" and "freely redistributable under
reasonable conditions" ? This sounds like a badly forgotten leftover rather
than intentionally worded as it is, since it makes no sense to leave such
unclear and obscure statements in a license unless you are lawyerbomb-creator
of course. The lisensor should be contacted for clarifications and license
text corrections, imho.
