I was wondering whether such exceptions are acceptable to the FSF
"linking rules". I know that Massimo owns the rights to the code and
the intention here is to grant generous "Do as you wish" BSD type
terms to users.
Will these exclusions be acceptable, say in court or to FSF? GPL
itself has been proven in courts many times, though....
PS: A true incident:
A while ago, one of our competitors wrote a web front-end to some
piece of software (which I will not name) and licensed it GPL2.0, but
added a clause that , (IT) service providers were not eligible to use
the said software. I was certain it was in violation of GPL (no
discrimination clause) and will not be acceptable to FSF (maybe courts
too?) and had thought of complaining to FSF but the said competitor
went out of business ;-)
