Yep. This one is a deal-breaker for inclusion in Fedora.


Ok, they were afraid of that, but knew it was a possibility.  However
they really want to prevent incorporation of the framework into a

That's unfortunate.  It's #1 on the opensource criteria on opensource.org:

1.  Free Redistribution
The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software...
