For example look at this part of the license:

1.5 - This Agreement does not limit Your right to distribute files that are entirely Your own work (i.e., which do not incorporate any portion of the Software and are not Modifications) under any terms You choose.

This is way more liberal then the GPL !

So why is this logo part such a big deal ?
Because if Yahoo/MS stop developing Zimbra, someone else will have to. And it is not usual for either OS people, nor companies take badgeware licensed work and continue it. Thats why, after all, badgeware is invented

Although, yep, it is nice to have at least this kind of freedoms and opened source.
