<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I have trouble reading the text of the
license, which does not come well formatted.<br>
<br>
At any rate, I am at odds with the following bit:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre class="drive-viewer-text-page drive-viewer-focus-to-default">5.3 Do not modify the source code of the software when you publish or integrate it.</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
In addition, the definition of "indications [of provenance?] of
software" seems to prohibit deleting all attribution material
however placed, in the user interface too. This seems too broad
and may conflict with #3 and #6.<br>
<br>
Apart of that, and provided that the language of the license is a
little bit off-standard (and of difficult reading), I do not see
particular red flag.<br>
<br>
All in all, I don't feel this licence is badly needed, however.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
