Usage of unorthodox license requires paying an attorney to vet the license #129

Reproduction:
1. Include the library in production code
2. Ask your development manager if the license is compatible with the company's 
guidelines

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected answer is "yes, you can include it, we can live with this 
license". 
The actual result is "we don't know this license, we need to ask a lawyer, and 
it costs $200-$500."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.8

Please provide any additional information below.
If the license was one of the well-known licenses, or explicitly public domain, 
this would not have been a problem.

well my friend, as the licence says, you can do what the fuck you want, 
including source copy-paste. no problemos. do you prefer me to cut you a 
version with a different licence? also no problemos.
