MR>  LP> This sounds very interesting.^.^

Mike, to quote from the non-German Licence.Doc

"Use of the Software  for any  
military- or arms production related purpose, whether direct or
indirect,  is strictly  prohibited and  will  constitute a breach 
of the license granted under this Agreement."

I don't think it's as sweeping as you might have thought. Military
*purpose* not *personnel* (although I hate that word "personnel" it makes
the point by a pun)
