According to the website, the software requires activation and payment
to use it beyond 30 days. My main concern was that this *may* run
afoul of section 6 of GPLv3 if there's any GPLv3 licensed software in
there, but IANAL and that language is sort of murky to me.

Other than that, I'm not sure that there's any real concern. I'm
downloading a copy of the software now to check for de-branding
issues, etc. Will report back with findings.
