Well in my honest opinion...

BULL. CRAP.

"(D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, 
you may do so only under this license by including a complete copy of 
this license with your distribution. If you distribute any portion of 
the software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so under a 
license that complies with this license."

That does NOT sound Open Source to me.
