No, just the license text, except for the 4-clause BSD license, which has long been deprecated by Debian (and the California Regents as well). Of the existing licenses that has come up in this discussion, only the OPL and GNU FDL encourage withholding the right to modify from large pieces of text/code written by the author. -- G.
