This does not describe open source software.  
http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php item 6 is specifically there
to make it clear that open source software can be used commercially. 

Of course, if they DO sell derived works to your developers, they must 
give recipients all the rights your license requires.  If the code is GPL, 
they must give all recipients of binary derived works source code and the 
right to redistribute.

Aside from the last part, which no open-source program may require, the 
GPL looks pretty good.
