Okay, here is the license modified to (hopefully) meet full OSD
compliance.  It is available here as well:
http://enetwizard.sourceforge.net/license.html.

Below is also the license as a template, which is what I would request
for approval.



eNetwizard Content Management Server License

(Simplified Artistic License)

 

Preamble

Copyright Robert Samuel White, 1998-2002.  All Rights Reserved.

The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which
eNetwizard Content Management Server ("Package"), and derivatives of
that collection of files created through textual modification, may be
copied, such that the author, Robert Samuel White ("Copyright Holder"),
maintains some semblance of artistic control over the development of the
Package, while giving the users of the Package the right to use and
distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the
right to make reasonable modifications.
