Because it is a copyright license, the use of the software falls outside 
the scope of the GPL (although the GPL FAQ suggests differently [1]). So 
it's my understanding that this EULA doesn't affect the copyright 
license in any way. However, the EULA is clearly not in the spirit of 
free software, as it doesn't comply with freedom 0. So I agree that it 
has no place in the list of free addons.
