I don't think it would satisfy FSF's standards for a free software license not
OSI's standards for an open source license. OTOH, I think license cannot
differentiate between classes of users to satisfy FSF, OSI, Debian etc. I
remember there was a discussion about a license that proscribed you cannot use
software for weapons development; since it talked about how the software may or
may not be USED (GPL deals with distribution, as do most other OSI-approved
licenses) and discriminated, I think people deemed it non-free.
I personally find no fault with IntarS license -- everyone has to, at the very
least, eat. So, the text is probably fine (IANAL). Only, it doesn't seem to be
an open source license so it should probably not be called one; it's more of a
proprietary license where you happen to be able to see the code and
redistribute it.
Do you offer IntarS as SaaS? If not, that may be a good way to get people to
discover it, pay for it and yet not be restricted.
