 <p>This license is sometimes also known as the OpenBSD License. It is a free

-<p>This license had an unfortunate wording choice: it provided recipients with 
&quot;Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this 
software&hellip;&quot;. This was the same language from the license of Pine 
that the University of Washington later claimed prohibited people from

-<p>ISC has told us they do not share the University of Washington's 
interpretation, and we have every reason to believe them. ISC also updated the 
license to read &quot;Permission to use, copy, modify, *and/or* distribute this 
software&hellip;&quot;. While the inclusion of &quot;and/or&quot; doesn't 
completely solve the issue, there's no reason to avoid software released under 
this license. However, to help make sure this language cannot cause any trouble 
in the future, we encourage developers to choose a different license for their 
own works. The <a href="#FreeBSD">FreeBSD License</a> is similarly permissive 
and brief. However, if you want a lax, weak license, we recommend using the 
Apache 2.0 license.</p></dd>
