what license is this?

Most parts of this are "as is, do what you want but preserve this notice." That
has the spirit of the Beerware license[1], but it's not exactly that. I'm sure
there must be another license on the SPDX list[2] that fits better, but I can't
tell which one without reading them all, which would make me want to kill
myself.

The rest seems to be covered by CC-BY-3.0 AND ICU.

I wish people wouldn't get so creative with their licenses.

Thanks,
Andrew
