It seems DosFS has a similar, though more wordy, license.

I tried to make it as succinct as possible, but I needed to have the
major bases covered.

1. I can't allow anyone else to claim ownership of the code fork I
offer; otherwise, someone could change one comment, say "DOSFS is mine"
and try to suppress my original.

2. I explicitly disclaim liability for any damage caused by the code
and require that, as a condition of licensing, the user indemnifies me
and keeps me out of any lawsuit.

3. In some jurisdictions, it is not possible to limit liability in this
way, even for a giveaway product. Therefore I have to make it clear
that if you're covered by such laws, you can't legally use DOSFS.

4. I don't require you to release any sourcecode, or tell me that
you're using DOSFS, or do anything else whatsoever. However if you DO
tell me you're using it, and you tell me some feature you added or bug
you found, this isn't secret information and I may publish it as part
of the free DOSFS tree.
