There are widely divergent interpretations of “use” in copyright licenses. Some will interpret it to mean practically any action at all; some will restrict it to mean only private use within a code base, but not redistribution or modification. So I think it is too risky to accept such a license if there is no explicit permission to all the freedoms needed for DFSG works. I would advise anyone writing such a grant of license to avoid the word “use” entirely, and state precisely what freedoms are granted. -- \ “I know that we can never get rid of religion ….
