This license contains an implicit permission to modify, but it would be much better to make it explicit. If you are going to go to the trouble of asking upstream to get permission from all the copyright holders to change the license, it would be much better to just switch to a standard license (GPL, MIT or BSD) though. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
