Note that this license is not Free or OSS, as neither definitions allow these kinds of restrictions.

There are other uses of the word "Free" outside of the GNUniverse. If he wants to call this "free software", he's just as entitled to do so as RMS was when he redefined the term.

Sure, but using Free (especially with the capital) is misleading, since the term already has quite a bit of precedent.
