I'd like to reiterate my proposal that the licensor-specific licenses
be pushed into a separate list either down the page or off-page.
Nobody else will be able to use them for their projects anyhow.  Here is
what I believe to be a conservative list of such licenses: PHP, Python,
Apple Public Source, Sleepycat, Zope, W3C, Computer Associates, EU
DataGrid, Entessa, Frameworx, LaTeX, Multics, Naumen, Nethack, Nokia,
OCLC, CNRI, RealNetworks, Ricoh, Sybase, Vovida.  Some of the licenses
in the current non-reusable category seem to me to be in fact reusable
(though not particularly desirable), so I have not mentioned them here.
