It pops up in various places as the WordNet project is over 20 years old and, quoting the Debian package manager, "is considered to be the most important resource available to researchers in computational linguistics, text analysis, and many related areas."

This license is being recommended to the Board for approval at the next 
board meeting as a legacy license.  Thank you for bringing it to our 
attention.
