Mmmmh, I am not too convinced. It says "licensed at no charge", not "distributed at no charge". Please compare with clause 2b of the GNU GPL v2: | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third | parties under the terms of this License. It seems to be pretty equivalent... The license of src/port/misc/config.c looks like a not-too-strong copyleft (GPL-incompatible) license. I haven't spotted any DFSG-freeness issues. As far as the other additional violations (pointed out in message #10 [1]) are concerned, I have nothing to comment...

I hope my comment helps a little. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
