I know we have updated our license in the past, particularly to remove
the advertizing clause. I think we grabbed FreeBSD's version. I don't
think we are inclined to update our wording unless there is a
significant reason to do so, and I don't think one project thinking it
is possibly confusing is enough, and of course, as you know, five
lawyers will give five different opinions.
