Yes, I'm sure that that's a license that imposes some restrictions.
It's not public domain.

Just one example:

"""
You must retain and reproduce in all copies of Original Code the copyright
and other proprietary notices and disclaimers of Sybase as they appear in the
Original Code, and keep intact all notices in the Original Code that refer to
this License;
"""

Anything that's public domain has no copyright.

Why do you ask?
