License certification request

[bruce at perens.com]

You could reduce this to the BSD license, an added attribution sentence,
and a separate trademark statement, and thus save us from the evils of
"license proliferation" - one more license in the world for programmers
to figure out, one more license that is not compatible with other pre-existing
licenses. Since the BSD license is already "certified", if you used the
straight BSD you'd be able to claim certification right away. Please consider
that.

	Thanks

Paragraph 4 should exclude the use required in paragraph 3 as something
requiring prior written permission.

Is this redundant with paragraph 1? Paragraph 1 requires that the license and
copyright statement be included. If the license and copyright statement contain
the acknowledgement sentence above, paragraph 6 is redundant - unless you want
us to put the attribution somewhere else.
