Dependencies should be packaged separately, not copied into the

This license contains an implicit permission to modify, but it would
be much better to make it explicit. If you are going to go to the
trouble of asking upstream to get permission from all the copyright
holders to change the license, it would be much better to just switch
to a standard license (GPL, MIT or BSD) though.
