+<p>The SGI Free Software License B version 2.0 is a free software
+  license.  It is essentially identical to

+  alternative way of providing license notices.</p>
+
+<p>Previous versions of the SGI Free Software License B were not free
+  software licenses, despite their name.  However, they all included
+  clauses that allow you to upgrade to new versions of the license, if
+  you choose to do so.  As a result, if a piece of software was
+  released under any version of the SGI Free License B, you can use
+  it under the terms of this free version.</p></dd>

-<p>The SGI Free Software License B, although its name says
-&ldquo;free&rdquo;, is not a free software License.  It has three
-major problems.  1.&nbsp;It restricts its patent license to unmodified
-versions of the software.  2.&nbsp;It terminates if your use of the
-software infringes copyrights or patents which are not SGI's.  This is
-problematic because it gives SGI grounds to sue you even when you have
-done nothing to them.  3.&nbsp;The license requires you to inform SGI
-of legal problems with the software.  This violates your privacy
-rights, and can conflict with professional confidentiality
-requirements, such as attorney-client privilege.</p></dd>
