    Hi Anil,

    Glad to hear it. I’d be happy to grant you the right to copy the license in it’s entirety.

    Keep in mind, as stated in the last line, “these rights, on this notice, rely” means that in order to exercise your rights “to copy, share, and modify”, you must retain the entire poem (uh, I mean, license). But in this case,

    Work and notice are one and the same.
    This paradox makes a poem less lame.
    Moral right I trust,
    if change you must,
    is attribution toward glory and fame.

    But for all that, I have little need.
    One should offer gifts without greed,
    neither string nor rope,
    should entangle the hope,
    that our works may grow from our seed.

    Anyway Anil, enjoy.
