I am writing a software license myself before I hire a lawyer.


Is it legal to copy a software license text from other companies to write my own?


I could not find anyone talking about the copyright of the software license itself. But many software licenses have the same text.


I found this post ([Is it legal to copy a website's terms of use?](https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/7901/is-it-legal-to-copy-a-websites-terms-of-use)) but not sure if this applies to a software license
