"IF THIS SOFTWARE WAS DOWNLOADED FROM A LOCATION OTHER THAN THIS WEBSITE
AND THROUGH THE STANDARD DOWNLOAD URL OR WAS DOWNLOADED USING A METHOD
TO AVOID ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT NO RIGHTS SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE
USER.
By installing, using, distributing, downloading, or otherwise using the
provided software you agree to be bound by this license agreement. If
you do not agree to any of the terms stated in this agreement then you
may not install, copy, distribute, download, or use this software."
This sounds like it can't be distributed, even in non-free. The
problem, of course, is that their source is actually licensed under the
GPL (at least, that's the only license I can find in the tarball), so
what we have here is some conflicting licensing. This should probably
be straightened out with the upstream folk before packaging. The GPL
kinda voids the silly EULA on the download page (by allowing free
distribution), but the EULA also appears to void the GPL (by claiming
that if you don't agree to it, you waive all licensing rights).
