Hi MasterOdin
Yes you are of course right. See bellow for comparison to the one I found at Wikipedia.
Closing the issue now. Thanks for feedback.
Hi There
It seems to me like this is a home-made license. It may be a showstopper for new contributors. This is a suggestion of MIT. Please feel free to close the issue if you do not like it.
Are you OK with the suggestion @claird? And do you accept me asking the other Copyright-holders for approval?
