I skimmed through the license and Section 2 indeed seems pretty bad: we
must (1) fill out a web form before redistributing the software and (2)
guide (some? any?) third party who wishes to redistribute it to do so
lawfully; if there are issue with this third party, we are held jointly
responsible...

Like Andy, I believe we should really avoid proprietary software when
open source alternatives are good enough. So I guess the question is:
how bad do you want that office suite in our repos?
