I didn't spot any obvious DFSG-busters. The above 4. looks like a
partial copyleft. That and the ad-clause 3.0 may make it GPL-
incompatible in some situations, but not the mere aggregation that
I think is happening for mapnik.
As 5. 4.4 demonstrates, the numbering is generally strange. It
might be worth questioning those and making them aware of the DFSG
as a part of that, but it seems OK without it.
Hope that helps,
