What's with the non-commercial licence?


Kudos is referring to this:

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms you can find below.

You can use this software for free only for no-profit projects. If you'd like to use this software in a commercial project you may contact the author (Federico Zivolo) of the software and ask for his permission and fulfill his conditions.


The no commercial license definitely makes it not free (as in speech) software. This definitely killed my interest.

Edit- I also think the license should be noted much more prominently otherwise its going to bite people.


? Seems pretty clear to me.


It's not that clear at all, but the OP made some clarifications elsewhere in the thread.
