True, but my larger point wasn't about the footnote's contents - it was that
the current notice is as short as it is because it links elsewhere for the
actual license details.  (Similarly, the current notice links elsewhere to
define "copyright" and "verifiable".)  By extension, we can keep the revised
notice relatively brief by using links to refer elsewhere for license text
and/or discussion.
