I agree with this statement. Term 3 and 6 limitated the usage of
the package: No selling and no usage on medical applications.

Of course the author can wrote, that the software is not designed
for use on medical applications. But writting 'not licensed for use' ist
a bad idea. We have a simular discussion on the iText distribution
bundle with pdftex, where we have found the statement 'Not
licensed for use on nuclear facilities' in a license text.
