The author has every right to release software under any license they like. One of the conditions that any software must pass to qualify as Free Software is that there be no limits on the right to redistribute the software,
This much is enough to qualify it as Free Software, See BSD, MIT, X all are Free Software.
as long as that right is not removed from the next person.
This is copyleft Free Software. See Apple Darwin it is based on BSD core
but the users of apple does not have the rights even though the original bsd is Free Software because it is not copyleft.
