GPL and AGLP both use the word "may" 31 times.

If you aren't comfortable with the word "may", you'll have a lot of trouble with open source languages.

GPL says "You may do this." This file says "You may be licensed" -- that is not an action I am able to take, that is an action they either do, or don't. It's not the same.
