Ci provo io, a prima vista i punti #6 e #7 non sono compatibili con i
punti #3 e #6 della DFSG:

**********

 6. Except as provided in section 7 below, you must receive prior
express written permission from Project Mayo before you use the names
"DivX;-)" or "DivX" (or any names incorporating those names) or the file
extensions ".divx" or ".div" to promote or endorse any products derived
from the Codec, including, but not limited to Larger Works.

7. You must use the ".divx" file extension in any Encoded Content, when
tools for this purpose are readily available. For Encoded Content used
for a commercial purpose, you must prominently display the "Encoded in
DivX" logo on the package of any Encoded Content in a manner immediately
visible to viewers and you must include the "Encoded in DivX" video logo
at the beginning of any Encoded Content when the means for such display
are reasonably available.

**********

3. Derived Works: The license must allow modifications and derived
works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the
license of the original software.

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor: The license must not
restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of
endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used
in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

**********

La licenza non dovrebbe mettere clausole sul campo di utilizzo dei
lavori derivati. Infatti, non so se proprio per questo motivo, anche su
Freshmeat viene classificata come "Other/Proprietary License".
