I believe this license is DFSG compliant, Sections 3.1 and 3.2 are
similar to some GPL sections. I wonder about section 3.6 as well.
Thanks in advance for looking at this lengthy license.
Nokia Open Source License (NOKOS License) Version 1.0
1. DEFINITIONS.

e distributed under the same terms as the license,
but the derived works will not be granted a patent license if they
infringe on the any patents.
Thanks again for you help.

Yes, I see that OSI approved the Nokia license. I took a brief look
back to 4/02, but I'll look
is licensed, not
necessarily to its derivatives?

Thanks for everyone's opinion. The consensus is that this license is
not compatible with the DFSG.

maintainers constitutes a restriction? Also, is the requirement to
change the name also non-DFSG compatible?
Thanks for catching this, Brandon.

Thanks for the info. I'll pass it along to upstream to see if they
want to change their license or move to non-free.
