Hello,


Looking at the license text:

and its documentation for educational and research not-for-profit purposes,
without fee and without a signed licensing agreement, is hereby granted,
provided that the above copyright notice, this paragraph and the following two

opportunities.


It seems the license is {fsf, dfsg} non-free because it does not allow
commercial usage. More precisely, it violates freedom 0 (the freedom to
run the program as you wish, for any purpose).


Does anybody know of any fork or should we use an old version?

Cheers,
Alex
