License Notes
This license is a modified version of the MIT license, with an added clause that is specific to Docbook stylesheets. The clause makes the license GPL incompatible, though, in the use case of docbook stylesheets, this is unlikely to be a concern. However, it is noteworthy that this sort of clause, applied to software, rather than XML stylesheets, is likely to make a license non-free, so we do not recommend its use.
