I invite you to reread rule 6 and tell me how the given example of "business" is any less vague than "military". I agree that "repressive use" is incredibly vague, but since that's a "or" clause, we also have to consider the word "military" on its own.

Rule 5 does not apply, because it refers to discrimination in who's allowed to use the software. How the software is used to apply discrimination against people is outside of the scope of rule 5 unless it's about the rights on what may be done with the software itself.

How do you know? Why is it written in LICENSE.txt? Just because it's not written in legalese doesn't make it any less worthy of consideration, it just makes it more open to interpretation.

PiDiP's license does not prescribe how a user should download the software. Don't say "maybe", say "really not".
