Yes, I think you're correct. >> The license is at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ibmpl.php > It looks like there are two versions: > 1.

The Postfix one is identical except for the title to the one used by OpenAFS. I didn't compare specifically to the HTML-ized version since that has markup added by us, but with the original canonical text version. wdiff showed no differences other than the title and the insertion of copyright dates in the license. I think http://www.openafs.org/frameset/dl/license10.html is probably the best link since it has the fully generic title, but I don't have a strong opinion.
