[License-review] Zenin License

[Pamela Chestek]

This submission does not provide the information that must be submitted 
with a new license, as described on this page 
<https://opensource.org/licenses/review-process/>. OSI  will consider it 
not submitted.

Further, as others have pointed out, the license obviously does not meet 
the OSD, so we do not recommend resubmitting it.
