+Below is an example license to be used for new code in OpenBSD,
+modeled after the ISC license.

+It is important to specify the year of the copyright.  Additional years
+should be separated by a comma, e.g.
+    Copyright (c) 2003, 2004
+
+If you add extra text to be body of the license, be careful not to
+add further restrictions.
