I think this part make it unacceptable (I didn't even look much further): II. Terms and Conditions for Use, Copying, and Distribution 1. You may copy and/or distribute This Product, provided that You do not modify This Product (for terms and conditions for copying and distribution of modified versions of This Product, see Chapter III) Chapter III does allow modified versions to be distributed if they are not called Truecrypt, along with a number of other requirements. And there is an exclusion for operating system vendors, but that still requires unmodified source to be what is built. It don't smell like a free nor open-source software license to me. :) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First, God created idiots.
