Thanks for clarifying! /me was beginning to think it meant Narendra's
Personal Development/Documentation License! J.K.!

>> License never need any approval. You can create your own license too.
License are just terms are condition you provide for "terms and condition"
for using your non-tangible objects like a text or image or content.

AFAIK, this is indeed correct. So, the question comes up, why form a new
license with a fancy name? We can use a more generic licensing text like
e.g.:

*"Permissions are hereby granted to any person obtaining a copy of this
licensed content to freely use/resue/modify/distribute the content as he/she
sees fit, provided that the person concerned in turn allows any other person
to freely use/resue/modify/distribute the used/reused/modified/distributed
content in any way seen fit by the latter.

Disambiguation: The term 'freely' as used above refers to freedom, and not
to free of cost
"*

The only problems to be wary of are:
1) Whether the thing will hold up in a court of law, but then again, that is
*always* a subjective matter!
2) License proliferation. Again, the above license text IMHO complies with
the definitions of Free as propounded by the FSF, so it should be compatible
with GNU/FSF's licenses.
