As has been pointed out, this means that you cannot sell a computer that
included a fax modem, and have Debian (with mgetty) preinstalled on it (or
supply a Debian CD with it), because the author 'wants a share'. I think
that's pretty must required - it doesn't look very optional.
I'd say that's pretty non-free.
As the license says, perhaps someone should contact the author, and ask for
this to be changed to a request?
