I agree. This license makes it nealy impossible to use/distribute it.
I don't really see any restrictions on it's use, only it's distribution. I just don't particularly like the language per se.
It would mean that we'd use a forum software but wouldn't really be able to package it - especially if we had to change some code to make it work smoothly on a (for example) SELinux enabled CentOS install (or just put files somewhere else than SMF expects them to be and we would have to change code for that).
For me this is a real showstopper.

+1 ... actually punbb/fluxbb works on a CentOS 5.x DomU with Selinux enabled and it's working ok (nothing to change, except allowing httpd to send smtp mail for the mail notification part of the forum)
Did anyone look at the Forum capabilities of Drupal ? Or at some of the Drupal modules that add Forum capabilities.
I don't know what is important for forums, but it is used quite succesfully for lots of websites and the integration with a Drupal portal would mean that where necessary posts could be hightlighted on the frontpage (or some subsequent portal-page).
