The license when you download from Caldera says: LICENSE & LICENSE RESTRICTIONS. You are allowed to install and use the Software for free as long as you operate the Software at all times only with the Linux operation system running natively on your hardware system. You may modify, translate or adapt the Software as long as you do not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it (except to the extent the laws in your jurisdiction specifically prohibit these restrictions).
