Interesting, do _you_ know what freedom 0 is? Last time I check what
the freedom 0 was it went something like this: the freedom to run the
software, for /any/ purpose.

Which would clearly make this GPSA license non-free if it has an
clause when you are allowed to "use" the software.  Of course this is
only my understanding of the issue, and I haven't really bothered
reading any previous posts on the topic so shoot me. :)
