I saw that, that's why I was asking. Like I said, it does have
restrictions.

What parts, specifically of the license would cause us to not accept it, or
the other side, what parts of the license would cause us to want to accept
it?

This is the FSF http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html
description of Aladdin license.

The "Aladdin Free Public License"
Despite its name, this is not a free software license; it is far too
restrictive.
