* Free (as in mel gibson) to modify and use for yourself
* If you modify and distribute, you must make source available
* 'Application service provider' counts as a distribution
* No viral clause
Lastly, if you ARE a startup with a valuable product, it may be time to consider simply not starting out as an open source company. Instead, charge a reasonable fee (reasonable meaning: not a monthly recurring fee, or per device fee) and license it like it's IBM in the 2000s (you 'buy' it, not rent it).

Considering the GPL doesn't count "Application Service Providers" as distribution, doesn't this essentially make that point moot?
Other than that, yes it seems to be a good license, and backed by governments so we know what the governments intent it and therefore how they intend to enforce it.
