The Java base is enough for me to take a pass. Given the list of people/
governments he/she/it doesn't like it's difficult to discern what he/she/
it does like.

Note clause 6: “no restriction against fields of endeavour”.

If you don’t need the Open Source definition, then you’re not Open Source.
End of story.

We liberals understand that, even if you antiliberal FOSS haters don’t.

Does DFS even have a day job? Or is scouring the webs for "dirt" his day job?

Hell of an obsession!

I came across an interesting Java relational db named H2.

https://www.h2database.com/html/main.html

It's the successor (but all new) to HypersonicSQL / HSQLDB.

Claims very high performance, so I may give it a whirl.

https://www.h2database.com/html/performance.html

Have you tried it?

None of that nonsense is legally binding. Anyone can and will use the software
if they want to.

In fact, the above restrictions would be deemed racial/political
descrimination in ANY court, should this asshole attempt to enforce this
malarkey.
