Estuve mirando el sitio web de Alice, un lenguaje de programacion visual y 
orientado a objetos que, aparentemente, se esta usando con exito para 
introducir a neofitos en la programacion.

En su FAQ encontre esto:

- Is Alice "open source?" How can I contribute?

- Yes, Alice is open source. That means you can download the source code, learn 
from it and modify it; however, we do not take contributions from the field for 
the development of Alice. We work solely in-house.

O sea, se puede acceder al codigo y modificarlo, aunque no te reciben ninguna 
contribucion. Pero no me queda claro si se puede modificar y redistribuir 
libremente.

Abajo pego la licencia. Alguno con experiencia en este tipo de documentos 
legales me puede decir si es "software libre" o si tiene alguna limitacion que 
le impida serlo?

Gracias, desde ya.
