Does the new frontmatter at
<URL:http://www.sleepycat.com/licensing.html> where they define
"redistribute" to include "use in multiple different physical
locations, even within the same organization" affect their license's
Open Source Definition compliance?

The result is certainly something that doesn't have the flavour of
Open Source any more --- a company using it can now be forced to pay
SleepyCat, or stop using it, if they're using it at more than one
place.
