on reading it fine print ( I am not a lawyer) I find point
one is also
aceptable. It does not say right to free redistribution of
copies. so all
the ten is acceptable.

it does say that.

sorry about that. sent the mail by mistake before i was done composing it. i intended to quote the relevant portion.
here it is:

  1. Free Redistribution
    The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

    Rationale: By constraining the license to require free redistribution, we eliminate the temptation to throw away many long-term gains in order to make a few short-term sales dollars. If we didn’t do this, there would be lots of pressure for cooperators to defect.
