I'm pleased to see PGP Inc. permitting development of freeware, but at leased from a first reading of the license, it's a _really_ restrictive definition of "freeware" - not only does the software have to be free, but it can only be used in extremely restrictively non-commercial activities.
The idea is simple: you make money from software that costs the authors lots of money to develop or use their software in a business environment (=to make money), you have to pay the people that spent time, effort, and, yes, money, on making it happen.
