Actually, I think that clearly means that they letting you distribute it without needing to licens it from them. 'licensing' implies a permission grant made by the author, not a distributor.
So I guess the license should either be "OSI-Approved", or "Restrictive/Distributable". Which one shall we use?
What's restrictive about it? I see nothing.
(This is the only package in the stable tree with no license specified, and I'd like to fix that.)
License \Li"cense\ (l[imac]"sens), n 1. Authority or liberty given to do or forbear any act; especially, a formal permission from the proper authorities to perform certain acts or to carry on a certain business, which without such permission would be illegal; a grant of permission; as, a license to preach, to practice medicine, to sell gunpowder or intoxicating liquors.
License means permission.
