Description

Looking at the Makefile AdmixTools links with the GNU scientific library, which is released under the GPL. As a derived work AdmixTools would also have to be released under the GPL, but the "SOFTWARE COPYRIGHT NOTICE AGREEMENT" at the bottom of the README is in conflict with the GPL (your "agreement" prohibits commercial use whereas the GPL does not permit restrictions on use).

Please adjust the license.

Review the Makefile's GNU scientific library dependency and the SOFTWARE COPYRIGHT NOTICE AGREEMENT at the bottom of README. Confirm the licensing conflict and identify the intended compatible license before changing the notice; done means the README terms no longer conflict with the dependency.
