This is a Russian organization. I doubt we want to waste money trying to 
get a hold of this product to hunt down whether the restrictions on the 
end product is evasive of any specific license within. Wikipedia article 
states that they do not respond to email. It doesn't appear to have made 
any new releases and seems to be dead.
