I severely object.

This licence doesn’t even have an SPDX identifier, nor is it
OSI certified.

Please use a standard Open Source licence, *especially* as you
are introducing new material here.

Before submitting this eMail, I found
https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/licenses.html
and if that is indeed the applicable document, please use BSD.
