New license request: WordNet License

[brianwarner]

How license meets inclusion principles

This license was used by Princeton for WordNet. From their FAQ page, "WordNet® is a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept." It is "freely and publicly available for download."

The license used by WordNet is similar to the CMU variant of MIT. Fedora considers it to be an MIT variant. It is more similar to CMU, but probably not similar enough to be handled with a regex.
