This is a good joke...

If you look at the Wikipedia article on the ISC/OpenBSD license (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license#History) as well as the archived
mail from Paul Vixie and Theo de Raadt, it seems quite clear that the text
in the preferred OpenBSD license (
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/share/misc/license.template)
was in fact the original wording.

Of course FSF lawyers prefer something more complicated so they convinced
the ISC folks to change the word "and" to "and/or." This may seem like an
innocent change but the term "and/or" is actually subject to more than one
interpretation in different legal systems. deraadt disagreed with this
change and decided to leave the copyright notice as is.

Now here is the punch line. If you look at the GNU website (
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#ISC) they actually say
that OpenBSD "updated" the ISC license to remove the "ambiguous" term! WTF?

And due to this manufactured controversy they of course encourage
developers to choose something less open to interpretation...Maybe the real
issue is that it is very hard to litigate a simple copyright statement, and
very easy to litigate a complex statement that spans not only copyright,
but contract law and patent law as well. Like, for example, Apache 2.0 or
GPL 3. For all the legal paperwork in open source you would think there is
a bigger payoff for the developers.
