Copyright law requires *explicit* permission in order to do a whole bunch of
things. This appears insufficiently explicit. :-(
"Copyright 2005 by XYZ. The copyright holder hereby grants permission to
everyone, forever, to do anything with this work which would otherwise be
restricted by his exclusive legal rights."
That might work.
