This license will be considered non-free in Debian. Please re-upload
targeting non-free or change the license terms.

 o It forces distribution of changes to third parties.
 o One may not change for the software (or use it in a commercial product),
   or be used *from* non-free software as a plugin (etc). The phrasing
   in here is odd.

I strongly encourage you to not write your own license terms. Please
consider using a well-known and understood license.

Cheers,
  Paul
