"not invented here"; people writing their own licenses, or modifying them, instead of using existing, well-understood licenses. It's a cause of license proliferation, which makes it harder for everyone to understand free software licensing, and very often causes unexpected (and usually unintended) problems, such as those of this license. It's almost always better to use an existing license than to make a new one. -- Glenn Maynard
