Title: Reword for shorter lines, make authorship generic

Shorter lines are a good idea: namely, with this line length, you can prefix every line of the license with a comment sequence like `// `, a patchset indicator like `+`, and a couple quote brackets like `>>` without overflowing an 80-character terminal.

For example:

```

From: Submitter
Subject: Re: Add license
