Dear list,

I'm reviewing perl-Net-HL7[0] and I'm unsure about its Beerware
license.  Although our guidelines generally classify Beerware as
`free'[1], the drink is mandatory in this variant:

                    BEER-WARE LICENSE

                   Version 666, July 2012

You can use this stuff and do whatever you like with it on the
following condition:

0. Would you ever be in a situation where you are able to offer
   us, or one of us, a beer, or if unavailable, an alcoholic 
   beverage of your choice, you must do so.

   Wyldebeast & Wunderliebe


Am I correct in assuming this license is non-free and
unacceptable?

Thank you,
Petr
