We recently came very close to having Bob Jacobsen in a position to be
counter-sued and lose because the language of the original Artistic

Thus, I think it would be really irresponsible of anyone to release a
license for developers to use before that license gets a good grade in
legal review. Warning them here should be appropriate.
