here is the license text for convenience:

(c) Copyright 1998-2007 by Mark Mielke

Freedom to use these sources for whatever you want, as long as credit
is given where credit is due, is hereby granted. You may make modifications
where you see fit but leave this copyright somewhere visible. As well, try
to initial any changes you make so that if I like the changes I can
incorporate them into later versions.

+1 to add this as a historical, broadly permissive license.

The wording is perhaps a bit different from other typical permissive / attribution licenses, in particular the phrasing for giving credit "where credit is due" and "try to initial any changes." But neither of these give me any concerns as to how this matches up against the License Inclusion Principles.

Soundex as the ID and "Soundex License" as the name look reasonable to me.
