I'm a bit confused about this clause. How does one determine that the
documentation is obsolete? Couldn't I just declare it obsolete,  and
redistribute the software with my "updated" documentation?
Overall, I'd say this license differs only from the BSD/MIT in that it attempts
to protect the software's "artistic integrity". I would humbly suggest looking
at the Artistic License for your needs, since it is essentially restricting and
permitting the very same things your license is.
