Hi Bram and list.

AFAIK, Vim is legacy software, was born about 20 years ago. 20 years ago, most
of software didn't have clearly license agreements. So I don't wonder
anything about that vim doesn't contain a copy of template file of famous
license  agreements in the repository. Some user seems to worry about EULA for 
vim. For example: see :help license. I can see:

> Vim is Charityware.  You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
> encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda.  Please see |kcc|
> below or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs:

Why this paragraph "You can use ..." is not included between
=== begin of license === and === end of license ===. Also I would like to 
specify that the users of vim are not anything restricted except for code 
distribution.
I hope to add EULA (I'm thinking it's enough with short text) into :help 
license.

How do you think?

BTW, I know vim is distributed under GPL compatible license.
