I understand your interpretation now. When you say "it must be permitted
for Commercial Use" and DFSG #6 says "it may not restrict the program
from being used in a business", I understand a sale is commercial use
and use in a business, whereas you consider a sale is only conveyance.

From that point of view, your license is DFSG-compliant. However, it is
compliant because DFSG #1 renders section 3 ineffective. If you knew it,
why does section 3 exist?

Please confirm that copyright holders of Flight of the Amazon Queen,
Lure of the Temptress, and Drascula were not deceived by section 3.
