debian-legal opinions are in the thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2009/02/msg00002.html
In summary: it contains typical mistakes, grants insufficient permission to redistribute, grants insufficient permission to redistribute modified versions (binaries), gives no indication under what license terms the sharing must be done, doesn't specify which “others” qualify, is postcardware-like, effectively terminates on the death of the licensor and doesn't specify who are “all the other pioneers”. Thank you for taking on this task. Please ask upstream to choose one of the common DFSG-free licenses. Summarised from the emails by Paul Wise, Mark Weyer, Ben Finney and myself.
