As far as I can read, no:

"Subject to the other terms of this license, the User is permitted to use
the Software in a profit-making enterprise, provided such profit arises
primarily from use of the Software and not from distribution of the Software
or a work including the Software in whole or part."

The freedoom to redistribute copies is encumbered of conditions.
