I don't know, but I think that at least a clarification from the authors is needed. Citing the license [1]: "This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation ( version 2 of the License ); with the following additional restrictions (which override any conflicting restrictions in the GPL):" Note especially the last two lines. > After the license there is > first a request to send in comments and bugs to a specific address, > then a request to register yourself as user, then this > request: No, that's not after the license, but after the blurb which seems to state that those requests are additional restrictions. (Actually they contradict the GPL...) But I agree that the intention is likely as you interpret it, so it should not be difficult to get a clarification.
