Yet another LICENSE that will end up being declared not Open Source compatible by the OSI.

So much for "open source".

The OSI might become irrelevant if all the open source projects end up using licenses that it says are not open source...

Plus this kind of "Not on AWS" restriction goes against Freedom0:

"The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0)."
