Hello, There's a project which isn't free software nor is it open-source (as they haven't found a monetisation model which would allow them to open the sources), but they'd like be able to have it in non-free section. They've asked me to give them ideas on what to change in their current EULA to make that possible.
So I'd like to ask someone to review the license (I've attached the file they gave me) and give me advices on what it'd be good to change. Please comments on everything — not sure every change will be accepted by them, but more problematic things we'll have here discussed, more possibilities to change them. Thanks. -- WBR, Andrew
