May I respectfully suggest that you simply consider using the
Apache 2.0 license, verbatim?  The 2.0 license has been "template-ized"
in that specific references to Apache have been dropped, and it instead
refers generically to "licensor" (i.e. the copyright owner who has
applied
the Apache 2.0 license to the code).

Apache 2.0 also contains several other improvements over 1.1, such as a
patent grant with defensive termination, and a clarification
that -- unless explicitly stated otherwise -- bug fixes, enhancements,
and other derivatives of Apache 2.0 code are also licensed under Apache
2.0.
