[License-review] Svoboda for Approval

[Gregor Pintar]

It is very diffrent:
"Permission is granted to anyone to modify or remove this notices and authors."
vs
"The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."

There is no OSI approved license, that would allow modifying or removing
all copyright and other notices.

Thanks,
Gregor Pintar
