Perhaps the following will be more acceptable in terms of requirements
placed on those who might make use of such a license to redistribute my
code (though it is unfortunately a little bit more wordy).  I've tried
to make it clear that the entire notice need only be included
*somewhere* within a distribtuion, and I've added a clause similar to
TNF's #3 that require only a one-line attribution to be used in the
release notes or whatever.
