Has anyone noticed that the usage restriction:

"This software(OpenNote) cannot be sold as a product, as a component, as a service, or in any other way unless a distribution license is purchased from the author(J. Liscom)"

is incompatible with its (OpenNote) license (GPLv3)?

It would be, but GPLv3 states, in section 7, paragraph 4:

    If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a
    notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a
    term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.

So the author just didn't read GPLv3 and added meaningless additional restrictions.

That is what I mean, basically :^)
