Yes. The Free World Licence contains a clause (Clause 5.9) that explicitly allows the platform restriction to be relaxed by the Original Licensor, even if the software has been substantially modified by third parties since its original release. This means that if you are uncertain about whether you need the platform restriction, you can try it and convert at some later date if you find that it is unnecessary.
