That's what I call free. While it may be free in your understanding, it certainly doesn't qualify as Open Source (cf. http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.html#3). In my understanding, you are not even allowed to change the /services path of the requisite daemontools and redistribute it; correct me if I'm wrong.
