However, when I saw the README, it says:

Is it acceptable for inclusion into Debian main, given the condition above?
It seems like that it would roughly correspond to something like "please donate". Not binding, but a mere request.
Not problematic in my opinion.

There was a similar case with LinuxSampler a few years ago, restricting
*use* of the program in commercial applications. It was removed from
Debian and it was concluded that its license is inconsistent, nobody can actually comply with it, because the GPL and the added restriction
contradict each other. It was also rejected from non-free
(undistributable software).
