I find the last sentence pretty comical since the previous sentences
explicitly stated the code was placed into the public domain.  Once
you place something into the public domain, you no longer hold
copyright.  If you have no copyright, you can't enforce any license
agreements on that copyright.  I'm definitely not a lawyer, but that
last sentence seems completely unenforceable.

When you contact Simson, you may want to mention the above oxymoron.
