Don't know about Mandrake and RedHat, but SuSE has it since ages
(or better said: since I asked them to include it in Dec 1998. :-)

This license is utterly GPL incompatible. The GPL does not allow
to impose any more restrictions than defined in the GPL itself.
It =does= for example (implicitly) allow pornographic use, and it
does allow anyone to sell the licensed stuff and make profit. You'd
better ask the copyright holder to relicense his models under the
GPL or forget them.  :-/
