This is incoherent. If the license terms restrict commercial
redistribution, then the work is not open source (nor is it DFSG-free).

Also, if *you* have written permission from the copyright holder to
redistribute, be aware that this is effectively part of your license
terms and needs to be documented verbatim in the package ‘copyright’.
You'll also need to check whether it passes DFSG §8.
