Hi all, This licence has got me a bit confused. Can someone please help to see if I can add this to a GPL program (aspell) without affecting its DFSG status. I'm aware languages are distributed in seperate packages and I _could_ put it in non-free, but I'd really rather not.
The point I'm hesitant about is the non-commercial since the GPL permits you to charge for copies.
