For Approval: ACE License [Amended]

[Ken Sedgwick]

Greetings,

I've taken the findings of the OSI License Committee back to the ACE
team and they've amended the ACE License to address the OSI's concerns.

Here was the original submission thread:
http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mss:9551:200502:oaoffccikahegfoebbbi

I've attached a text copy of the revised license.  The latest release of
the ACE software (5.4.5) is using the new license.

I've diff'd the license with the original submission.  The first "chunk"
is from the original license and the second is the revised section.

19,27c19,28
