Personal opinion, I am in no way associated with OSI...

I would say that changing the name is perfectly acceptable. Changing
the warranty disclaimer is also hunky-dory, if that's all the change is.

Beyond that it's tough to know without considering the license in
question. I like Brian's idea of having templatized licenses. The BSD
license already is in a way.
