If the license scheme is along the lines of "gratis for non-commercial
use", then it's non-free software per [0] (it violates Freedoms 0 and 2)
and it would be better to use the string "non-free" as the `license'
attribute IMO.

It may also mean that it cannot be freely distributed, e.g., through
Nixpkgs channels, which you may want to indicate prominently so that the
TU Delft people don't run into troubles.

If you are planning to contribute other packages, you should probably
ask Eelco an SVN account.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
