Hi folks,
Could someone please look at this license[1] and decide if it can be
included in fedora? I found a thread here that says its
gpl-incompatible, but I want to just make sure.
It is not a free software license, for at least the following reason:
clause 1(c) contains a restriction on commercial use that appears to
be nonfree based on the Sun RPC precedent[0].
In quick net search I found some information suggesting software under
this license may have later been licensed under LGPL, so you may want
to look into that.

The j3d library makes use of this. I was in the middle of packaging it.
Thanks,
Ankur
