Text of the license:

 * "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42):
 * <phk@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote this file. As long as you retain this notice you
 * can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some day, and you think
 * this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return Poul-Henning Kamp

This is basically a joke license like the WTFPL; since the beer
purchase requirement is optional, it seems to me that this is
basically equivalent to the "Copyright only" license at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/CopyrightOnly.  The only
actual requirement is that the notice not be removed, which obviously
does not render the software non-free in pretty much any sense I can
think of.
