Sorry, but this is not the expat license. It's a completely different
text.

In terms of concrete differences, at least, the requirement not to use
the author's name for "advertising" is not part of the expat license.

It's basically a variation on these:

I pushed a followup commit, adjusting the package to use the generic
"non-copyleft" license.
