The license is at: http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/license10.html It's somewhat similar to the (original) openssl license, in that any source-available distributions must be distributed under it: When the Program is made available in source code form: a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program. It may be distributed in object form without fee to IBM/Transarc, or restriction, save that the use of the code by the person giving away the object form must fulfil the agreement, and that the standard disclaimers and stuff against damages are applied. Additionally a distributor of object code must tell those distributed to that the free source program exists and how to get it. I think it is probably sufficiently free. It doesn't sufficiently cover the use of small bits of its code, though. It is a non-terminating license.
