Is this the correct interpretation or not?
So far off base, it seems like you haven't even read it.
Alright, I guess I must be really misunderstanding what I read. Here
I'm quoting from the ISC license in
/usr/src/share/misc/license.template.

I'm reading "this permission notice" above as referring to the
"Permission to use..." paragraph and the disclaimer after it. Wouldn't
this seem a natural reference? Are you saying that it actually refers
only to the disclaimer part of the notice?
