Any statement in a license can't just be disregarded. That's a very clear statement within a license, so its legally binding. And therefore PiDiP is not free software.
It has a weak legal binding. I would'nt say that it's "unfree" software, it's more like a open source software with a moral statement written as a banner in capital letters. This could be included in the "readme", not in the license.
I'd prefer to have that phrase removed from the PiDiP license, though I agree with its sentiment. Otherwise it will make distributing PiDiP difficult, among other things.
Yves's intention is to distribute PiDiP as free software, and its license is very easy to fix... -- Marc
