This one doesn't explicitly allow modification and/or distribution
of modified versions, but requires broad interpetation of the word
'use'. Given the rest of the code licenses, I would wager that the
intent is there, but if you wanted to be absolutely sure, you could
contact the authors of the code covered by this particular license.

you need help finding it, let me know. :-)
