That's not a free license. In fact, it's about as non-free as you can
get, since it's essentially "all rights reserved"; there's no
permission to modify or redistribute at all. We can't distribute this,
even in non-free.

Here's the text:

Use of the works is permitted provided that this instrument
is retained with the works, so that any entity that uses the
works is notified of this instrument.

DISCLAIMER: THE WORKS ARE WITHOUT WARRANTY.

Usual example of why random people should not be writing licenses.
