OSD#5 needs a patch?

Perhaps we should have OSD #5.1

	All licenses must be politically correct.  They must contain
	nothing that might offend or incense anyone.

We would have to exempt all currently accepted licenses
since an inheritive clause (or prohibition or lack of one)
might incense people or keep them from using the software
shiped with the license.

Or we could just rely on the fact that most the people on
this list would go ballistic should a clause like the one
proposed ever find its way into a license and delay
approval of it into the 23rd century.
