Licence which allows trivial conversion to undocumented.

http://www.wegalink.de/english/download_c.html contains
a licence which is claimed to be OSI certified, and
looks like it may be derived from the X licence, although
this is not stated.
However, this licence requires the recipient of the software
to have the documentation for the licence to be valid,
but allows sub-licensing without this constraint. That means
the documentation requirement can trivially be circumvented,
making it of little value to include it in the first place.
(The other problem in this case, I suspect, is that the
copyright owner is not a "legal person".)
