The wording of most of the licences is also pretty clear: *these* terms
(their wording) is to be copied, not any equivalent one.

I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it
when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny
existence.		-- Coywolf Qi Hunt
