A public domain level friendly open source license for (Holloway) Chew, Kean Ho product licensing purposes. This license was adopted from the Open Source Initiative's BSD Zero Clause License as its baseline and applies the following changes:

3. Added version controlled clauses for which version shall be in effect by default.
