quote=The ISC copyright is functionally equivalent to a two-term BSD copyright with language removed that is made unnecessary by the Berne convention.] Initially used for the ISC's own software releases, it has since become the preferred licence of OpenBSD, among other projects. [cite web

Before accepting the licence as a free software licence, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) asked for clarification of the text. As a result, in July 2007 "and distribute" was changed to "and/or distribute". [cite newsgroup
