This seems to be a close variation on a template license that is already
listed by OSI as an OSI-approved license, which OSI calls "Historical
Permission Notice and Disclaimer". It is stated here
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/historical.php
that "This License has been voluntarily deprecated by its author." (I'd
be curious to know who claimed to be the author of that license.)
