CWI license

The CWI license is the license applied to early releases of Hack, as detailed here. CWI, the Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica, is the new name for the Stichting Mathematisch Centrum. It is a BSD-type license, and one-way (inclusion) compatible with the GNU GFDL. For the purposes of Wikihack, that is perfectly adequate.

I wish to place all of the hack source code I wrote under the following license.
