Alteration to the license
. Remove superfluous definitions.
. Shorten the disclaimer
I don't think it is necessary to elaborate on the disclamation of warranty.
. Imply Due Credit(attribution) like the BSD License.
. Remove explicit license acceptance/understanding requirement in the latter part of
the permission requirement.
I think this is a well established implication within any license.
This is a pretty significant change, but I just want the meat and potatoes, so
I got rid of the fluff.
The copyright and other identification information should be prepended to the
license, which should be considered part of the instrument.

This shortens it up pretty well, but I think it is still effective.
Any comments are welcome.
