Don't know if it's approved by the OSI or FSF.  I considered it
different enough from everything else there (although it seems to drag
in elements of other licenses) to make it separate.  But it does seem
to be <airquotes>free</airquotes>, and obviously Joyent consider their
license different enough, so it should probably be added to the
pkg_install stuff, once its freedom is verified.  But for just one
package?

Best,
