Can you look over http://www.metasploit.com/projects/Framework/msf3/download.html?Release=alph... for The Metasploit Framework License v1.0 ?
Without going into legal technicalities, that license clearly has the following problems:
- Commercial use restricted (2b) -- Can't be used in any commercial application or product.
- Anti-forking clause (4) -- Modifications must be distributed separately, as patches -- no forking. Technically, that's what good RPMs do anyway, but this doesn't meet the normal standards for Free or Open Source software.
