No, because of the advertisement clause:
 
"4. All advertising materials, journal articles and documentation
 mentioning features derived from or use of the Software must display
 the following acknowledgment:"

This is a restriction on use which renders it non free. Also it may be 
hard to follow this rule since it is not very precise, since 'mentionning
features derived from or use' maybe understood more or less broadly.
