Well... as far as I understand it, you can always modify legal text 
since it's not copyrighted. You obviously would have to change the name, 
and it wouldn't apply to the program, but you could create the "Foo 
License" that's based on the GPL and distribute your own software for you.

I could be wrong of course.
