+<dd><p>This is a free software license as far as it goes. It is
+incompatible with any version of the GNU GPL.</p>
+
+<p>It has a special danger in the form of a term expressly stating it
+does not grant you any patent licenses, with an enticement to buy
+some.  Because of this, and because the license author is a known
+patent aggressor, we encourage you to be careful about using or
+redistributing any software under this license: you should first
+consider whether the licensor might want to sue you for patent
+infringement.  If you conclude that the program is bait for a patent
+trap, it would be wise to avoid the program.</p></dd>
