Fine with me, as it is merely adding a disclaimer. In fact, I think
it is fine to tweak the first paragraph of the license to, in effect,
add a restriction by generalizing NEC to "above copyright holders" as
well. In the interest of presenting the simplest possible license to
users, I have copied MLton-LICENSE to NEC-LICENSE, and generalized the
MLton-LICENSE as suggested above. Have a look at
http://mlton.org/License
I believe that MLton-LICENSE is consistent with (i.e. a restriction
of) NEC-LICENSE and should meet the needs of future contributors.
