This is NOT an LPPL conforming licensing; the author should be
contacted to sort out the license.
The LPPL states:
----------------
Additional Conditions on Individual Files of The Program
An individual file of The Program may bear additional conditions
that supplement and/or supersede the conditions in this license
if, and only if, such additional conditions exclusively concern
modification of the file or distribution of a modified version of
the file. The conditions on individual files of The Program
therefore may differ only with respect to the kind and extent of
modification of those files that is allowed, and with respect to
the distribution of modified versions of those files.
----------------
Clearly the fifth and sixth paragraph violate the LPPL; the
third and fourth are superfluous.
Best regards
Martin
