I can't help chiming in. Sounds "free"? This is probably the most
non-free license I ever had the fun to read...

In fact, I wonder if it's actually valid to demand that no charges may
be claimed for distribution by third parties -- not even for the media.
I don't think it's even possible to avoid that "money changes hands" at
least indirectly.

As a law layperson, I'd be interested to hear how this went.
