Greetings,

This is a newer version of what opensource.org currently has posted[1].
It should replace what is currently there.

The change has come about mostly to get rid of the bracketed portion
pointing to rhid.com/fair, which will, sooner or later, point to
nothing. Additionally, to use 'use' instead of 'usage'.

---------BEGIN LICENSE----------
Use of the works is permitted provided that this instrument 
is retained with the works, so that any entity that uses the
works is notified of this instrument.

-----------END LICENSE-----------

[Step 4]
The most similar licenses are BSD-type licenses. It differs by being
brief, more general, and by requiring notification of the instrument.

It does not appear to be incompatible with any license.

(See above for the license. A <pre></pre> should be wrapped around it
for the HTML version)
