+<p>This is a free software license.  It has a copyleft similar to the

+  law clause in section 7.  These features both make the license

+<p>This license requires all recipients to proactively help the
+  licensor enforce its trademarks.  This is an unreasonable condition
+  to place on users' rights, so the license is non-free.  It also has
+  other practical problems: some of the requirements are vague, and it
+  uses the
+  term <a href="/philosophy/not-ipr.xhtml">&ldquo;intellectual
+  property&rdquo;</a>.</p>
+<p>Despite the name, this license has not been approved as an open
+  source license as of this writing.</p>
