      <h2 id="notes">Notes</h2>
          <p style="margin-left: 20px;">This license has been voluntarily deprecated by its author. Original license submission in 2002 was intended to provide a template distilled from permission notices used in many packages. As per the original notes, &quot;It may be possible to construct a grammatically incorrect license from this template, or one that lacks a disclaimer, or one that includes a double-disclaimer. That is acceptable, as long as it remains impossible to construct a non-OSD-compliant license that matches the pattern.&quot;</p>
