+<p>
+The NASA Open Source Agreement, version 1.3, is not a free software
+license because it includes a provision requiring changes to be your
+"original creation".  Free software development depends on combining
+code from third parties, and the NASA license doesn't permit this.</p>
+
+<p>We urge you
+not to use this license.  In addition, if you are a United States
+citizen, please write to NASA and call for the use of a truly free
+software license.</p></dd>
