The licence says it all. Contrast the above with this http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines
While I shan't get into the religious jihads of whosedistro is bigger; I am compelled to note that Debian is a fundamentally different beastie when it comes to freedom issues (which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your perspective).
Many on the list are not aware of the issues in licensing. Once u are aware do as u please. That apart it peeves me no end that companies like Novell are doing exactly what the gpl wanted to prevent - bottling up knpwledge and creating artifical scarcity. And even worse the people in the foss community actually thinking that somehow this is a good thing.
