The title seems... ambitious.

I read in the bug that other vendors don't have a problem with the license, and I see nothing in detail why Debian might feel otherwise.

The license file is new and the other distributions probably aren't as scrupulous as Debian is about licensing. The license itself seems pretty clear:

3. "You will not, and will not allow any third party to" (iii) "use or make the Software available for the use or benefit of third parties"

Did you bother to read the license?

Did you notice that there is some tension between „vendors cannot distribute“ and „pretty much everyone except us distributes, including vendors with real legal teams“?

An explanation that‘s more detailed than „read the license“ would be really nice. And the submission title remains pure clickbait.

I both posted a link the entire license and the terms that are relevant.
