Good fucking GRIEF. This is the worst license I have seen in a long
time. I'm not surprised you can't comprehend it. It's not even proper
English - it's got the spaces in the wrong fucking places.

The opening paragraph is inexplicably in all capitals and seems to
think it is a web page. I gave up after working through the first
clause of actual license, rather than definitions.

Please just ask upstream for a license that isn't completely
retarded. I can't bear to read this thing any longer; I feel a deep
burning need to slay the author. Actually analysing it could take
DAYS.
