Yep, it would. Still, however, need the standard "Provided 'AS-IS' |
| 24 |
with no disclaimer of warranty blah blah" statement which afaik would |
| 25 |
not be included in any way in the FSF list (unless one of those |
| 26 |
freedoms would actually be 'The freedom of the author to have no |
| 27 |
repercussions whatsoever brought against them as a result of the |
| 28 |
program's use or mis-use', of course) |

I don't know if an operator would actually be necessary; i just |
| 42 |
figured ()-wrapping would asthetically differentiate these from |
| 43 |
additional licenses that might be tagged on (ie if part of the package |
| 44 |
was also GPL-2) |
