The text can not be changed for the following two reasons:

 1) the proposed license is a relaxed version of an existing, approved
    license; changing the text would create an entirely new license
    and require new legal analysis etc.

 2) the point of this submission is to get OSI approval for a license
    which is already widely used; changing the text would defeat that
    purpose, as the license that would end up being approved would not
    be the one people are actually using.
