The only reason we included a license is because we wanted it to be easier for more people to use/share this. Some places (i.e. Curse) need some form of "official" notice allowing content to be used. Since we were making a license anyway, we thought it would be nice to add an attribution clause so others didn't try to claim our work as their own. The result is this custom license based on a combination of the MIT license and a couple parts from Vaskii's Botania/Psi license:
