> This license is almost identical to the MIT license but with the stipulation that the software cannot be provided as a hosted or managed service

Note that while the original change was an additional clause to the MIT license, it was quickly changed to something completely different.[0] Since it no longer permits sublicensing and restricts "remov[ing] or obscur[ing] any licensing, copyright, or other notices in the Software," I believe it's closer to GPL now?
