I wasn't intending to make a report just yet, but gather more
information. But now that you've asked, I'd hate to leave everyone
hanging. :)

The OSI mark appears on the right. The third paragraph is the text
"DM2 is free for noncommercial use, under the following EULA. Source is
released under the terms of the GPL license." I can't make out whether
they are trying to claim the EULA only applies to their binaries, or
perhaps if this some pooly executed attempt at dual-licensing. But I
can tell you that both licenses are included with the binary releases
as well as source releases.
I attempted to contact the developers long ago, but received no
respose:
