Found it. Section 3.2 includes force distribution which failes the 
Desert Island test:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/03/msg00236.html

There was also a problem with section 3.3:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/03/msg00260.html

Essentially, a license is DFSG-free when the debian-legal list puts a 
stamp of approval calling it "free", and the guidelines and tests are 
just guidelines and tests.

It is to me, but I am not a lawyer. I don't know which quantity of 
tracking would be deemed sufficient by a judge. That's my point.

But no matter. It looks like you and Ian came up with a good 
alternative. Let me explore that before we keep dwelling on this.

Cheers,
Daniel.
