Please check for DFSG-freeness
A license I cooked up based somewhat on the Sleepycat license (just for
fun, though I do know about license proliferation). Those with extra
free time please check this for DFSG-freeness:

Copyright (c) __YEAR__, __COPYRIGHT_OWNER__.
All rights not explicitly granted are reserved.
---------------------------- DEFINITIONS ----------------------------
In the following text, "source" and "source code" refers to the form of
a software which best facilitates modification to the software. Any
other form of a software is referred to as "binary".
The adjective "complete" when used with "source code" means that the
source code must be accompanied by any helper files such as scripts,
Makefiles etc which are required to usefully utilize (for example
generate, install and execute) the software that the source code
represents. This however does not include any generally available
libraries or other tools which are required for such utilization.
---------------------------- CONDITIONS ----------------------------
Free-of-charge redistribution and use of __PRODUCT_NAME__ in source and
binary forms, with or without modification, by anyone for any purpose,
are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

modification, by anyone for any purpose.
