Is license dennying redstribution open source?

[Eugene Wee]

Hi,

I thought that part was obvious:

1. Free Redistribution

The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the 
software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing 
programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a 
royalty or other fee for such sale.


Clearly, "you cannot provide the software to anybody else!" contradicts 
"this does not restrict any party from selling or giving away the 
software (etc)".

Regards,
Eugene Wee
