A license I cooked up based somewhat on the Sleepycat license (just for
fun, though I do know about license proliferation). Those with extra
free time please check this for DFSG-freeness:
========================================================================
Copyright (c) __YEAR__, __COPYRIGHT_OWNER__.
All rights not explicitly granted are reserved.
---------------------------- DEFINITIONS ----------------------------
In the following text, "source" and "source code" refers to the form of
a software which best facilitates modification to the software. Any
other form of a software is referred to as "binary".
The adjective "complete" when used with "source code" means that the
source code must be accompanied by any helper files such as scripts,
Makefiles etc which are required to usefully utilize (for example
generate, install and execute) the software that the source code
represents. This however does not include any generally available
libraries or other tools which are required for such utilization.
---------------------------- CONDITIONS ----------------------------
Free-of-charge redistribution and use of __PRODUCT_NAME__ in source and
binary forms, with or without modification, by anyone for any purpose,
are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:
DISTRIBUTION OF __PRODUCT_NAME__ ITSELF:
1. DISTRIBUTION IN SOURCE FORM:
Distributions of modified or non-modified source code of
__PRODUCT_NAME__ must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of
conditions and the following disclaimer. Modified source code of

non-modified source code of __PRODUCT_NAME__ must reproduce the above

in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
b. Such distributions must also contain:
i. either the complete source code corresponding to the binary
form being distributed
ii. or information on how to obtain such complete corresponding

3. DISTRIBUTION WITH MODIFICATION:
Distributions of modified source code of __PRODUCT_NAME__ or binary
forms created from such modified source code, must carry prominent
notices as to the modification(s), including who created the
modification(s) and when.
DISTRIBUTION OF SOFTWARE USING __PRODUCT_NAME__:
4. Any software which uses __PRODUCT_NAME__ in any way, if distributed,
must be licensed under terms that permit free-of-charge redistribution
and use of that work in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, by anyone for any purpose.
5. Distributions of such a software must contain:
i. either the complete source code comprising the software
