@sorairolake - given there is later version of this, is version 1.0 still in use widely?

@jlovejoy Probably, I think this version is almost not used nowadays. However, if users are already using contents under this version, the terms of this older version will continue to apply, not the latest version (term 7-b of the version 2.0).

I'd be inclined not to add this for some of the same reasons as stated in #1925, but also b/c it's not likely to be used nowadays.

discussed on 6/22 call: Decided to not accept similar to #1943 as the SPDX License List doesn't usually add website terms of use and there does not seem to be substantial use and main link to license is web archive link. In addition, this license includes restrictions in section 3 that would not meet any of the free/open definitions and may go a step too far (vague and potentially far-reaching)
